Speaking in the House of Commons on 2 June 2026

Debate

Armed Forces Bill

Contribution

Again, I welcome the Home Office’s meaningful engagement with the APPG on this issue. This is first and foremost a Home Office responsibility, and it must consider how best to implement the covenant, which extends to its work. Although the policy that new clause 5 seeks to address needs to be changed as soon as possible, the new clause is premature. However, I hope that the Ministry of Defence will continue to press the Home Office to move further and faster.
