The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to improve support for veterans.

Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones

Remembrance is a poignant time for our veterans, allowing the country to demonstrate their recognition and celebrate the Service of our veterans. This Government has already taken swift action to deliver for our veterans, and cohere the support available. With £50-million funding for VALOUR, our Ops, FORTITUDE, COURAGE, RESTORE, ASCEND and NOVA supporting veterans in need; and 88% of veterans are supported in securing sustainable employment that leverages their unique skills within six months.
