Background

The Independent Review into the experiences of LGBT service personnel serving between 1967 and 2000 quoted many LGBT veterans saying they had experienced abuse. We believe a public inquiry is needed, to address public concern regarding this.

Additional details

This public inquiry could compel testimony and the release of documents.
