Along with other Members across the House, including my hon. Friends the Members for Aldershot (Alex Baker) —she is unable to be here today—for Southend East and Rochford (Mr Alaba) and for Kilmarnock and Loudoun (Lillian Jones), I engaged with a large number of veterans and a variety of different organisations.

Member for Rayleigh and Wickford (Mr Francois) is trying to say. [Interruption.] Oh sorry. I thought that my hon. Friend the Member for Aldershot was unable to be here but she is here. I am grateful—thank you for pointing it out.
