Speaking in the House of Commons on 15 October 2024

Debate

Northern Ireland Veterans Commissioner

Contribution

I thank the hon. Member for his point, and I will come to it later when I quote him in regards to the concerns that were raised when Mr Kinahan resigned. On Mr Kinahan’s appointment, the leader of the Ulster Unionist party at that stage, Dr Steve Aiken, said that it “will be warmly welcomed by all veterans and the wider armed forces community across all of Northern Ireland”, that Mr Kinahan would “be a first-rate advocate for the many thousands here who have served” and that “by his appointment we have at long last joined the rest of the United Kingdom in providing that very necessary representation.”
