The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he plans to appoint a National Veterans Commissioner.

Answered by Al Carns

The Ministry of Defence is leading work across Government to look at the best ways to ensure veterans and their families get access to the health, housing, employment and other support they need.

The role of Veterans Commissioner is already established across the nations of the UK. The Ministry of Defence will work closely with our Veterans Commissioners to improve support for those who have served our country, including work to put the Armed Forces covenant fully into law.
