As a member of the Armed Forces Parliamentary Scheme, I have seen first-hand the incredible work and bravery displayed by members of our military, who every day go to work willing to put their lives at risk to keep all of us safe.
That’s why it was great to attend a reception hosted by the Royal British Legion.
last week, and once again pledge my commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant.
The Covenant was introduced as part of the Armed Forces Act 2011 and is a promise that members of our brave armed forces, veterans and their families should not face any disadvantage due to their service and provides special consideration in certain circumstances, such as those who have been injured or bereaved.
