Veterans: Government Assistance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to ensure that veterans receive adequate support after leaving the armed forces.
Answered by Louise Sandher-Jones
This Labour Government was elected on a promise to renew the nations commitment with those who served – and we are acting.
We've made record investment for our remarkable veterans alongside a landmark new Veterans Strategy celebrating them as a vital national asset. £50 million for VALOUR, £12 million for the Reducing Veteran Homelessness Programme, together with Ops COURAGE, RESTORE, FORTITUDE, ASCEND and NOVA.
