Despite this change being the lowest of low-hanging apolitical fruit, this Government have eschewed opportunity after opportunity to deliver it. Defence Ministers wax lyrical about armed forces pay rises and improving military housing, but on this they are nowhere. We are now on our third Minister for Veterans and People in two years, and I have raised the issue with each of them. We have made no progress. While I do not think for one second that any of them opposes it, it will never be a priority.
