Jim Shannon

Democratic Unionist Party — Strangford

Speaking in the House of Commons on 9 July 2025

Debate

LGBT Financial Recognition Scheme

Contribution

I commend the hon. Lady for securing this debate. I spoke to her yesterday and am very conscious of the importance of it. Those people volunteered to serve in uniform. They protected this country and its people to the best of their ability, and the result was discrimination, abuse and the things that the hon. Lady has outlined. Does she feel that now, at long last, through recognition by the previous Minister, the current Minister and the Government, we have justice, and justice is really what it is all about?
