Labour — Dunfermline and Dollar

Speaking in the House of Commons on 8 April 2025

Debate

Armed Forces Covenant

Contribution

I thank my hon. and gallant Friend, and indeed all members of the Defence Committee, for an invaluable report. During his contribution, he mentioned one example of a soldier moving cross-border and that causing problems with NHS appointments. Does the Committee recognise that soldiers and veterans can be disadvantaged by difference in policy between the nations of the UK? How do we think the Government can best go about addressing those problems?
