David Davis

Conservative — Goole and Pocklington

Speaking in the House of Commons on 19 May 2025

Debate

Support for Veterans

Contribution

I take it that the meeting will not be on Everest. The Secretary of State knows as well as I do that one of the most distressing experiences for our veterans today is the fear of being dragged into court in the face of politically motivated prosecutions after the Clonoe and Coagh inquiries, which opened a month ago. Some action will obviously have to be taken to protect them. Is the MOD currently researching the legal, judicial and legislative requirements that are necessary to protect our veterans from this appalling treatment?
