I am immensely proud of the unwavering dedication and courage shown by the Armed Forces and the individuals who have selflessly risked their lives to safeguard our nation.
I regularly show my appreciation and support for the Armed Forces by attending the RBLs events held in Long Eaton and Ilkeston, including VJ Day, Merchant Navy Day and of course the Remembrance Commemorations. The Government must support our veterans once they have completed their active service.
In Parliament, I asked Ministers in the Ministry of Defence whether they will undertake a review of waiting times for the War Pension and Armed Forces Compensation Schemes. You can view my question here.
