The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland, what recent estimate he has made of when the Northern Ireland Veterans’ Commissioner will be appointed.

Answered by Hilary Benn

The Government recognises the dedicated service of all our veterans and is committed to supporting the veteran community across the whole of the UK.

I have previously made clear my intention to confirm the appointment of a new Northern Ireland Veterans Commissioner before the end of the year and expect to make an announcement shortly.
