Armed Forces Bill

Contribution

New clause 19 would help to deliver that consistency of application by placing national standards on the extended covenant duty, requiring statutory guidance, minimum requirements for public bodies, proper training and a framework for monitoring reporting. New clause 20 would require the annual covenant report to assess compliance against those standards, analyse outcomes and make recommendations.
