Armed Forces Commissioner: Broxtowe
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what assessment he has made of the potential impact of the establishment of the Armed Forces Commissioner on service personnel in Broxtowe constituency.
Answered by Luke Pollard
The Armed Forces Commissioner is the first step in a series of steps that will be taken by the new Government to renew the nation’s contract with those who serve, and to improve service life. They will be a direct point of contact for the Armed Forces and their families in every constituency, including Broxtowe, to raise welfare issues that impact on their service life. Through reports and recommendations, the new Commissioner will bring those welfare issues to the attention of Parliament and the public.
The Bill to create an Armed Forces Commissioner is now undergoing consideration in the House of Lords having completed its Commons Stages last month.
