Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice, with reference to page 19 paragraph 6 of HM Government publication, The Strategy For Our Veterans, published in November 2018, what steps he is taking to ensure that veterans leave the armed forces with the resilience and awareness to remain law-abiding civilians; and what amount of funding he has allocated to the 2028 outcome.
Answered by Edward Argar
The Veterans Strategy and the current consultation, which seeks public views to inform the strategy’s implementation, is something to which my Department actively contributed and strongly supports.
The resource required to implement the Strategy for our Veterans will be agreed between Ministerial Covenant and Veterans Board members, which includes the Chief Secretary to the Treasury.
We continue to work with a range of military charities and organisations who have the skills to work with former service personnel entering or leaving custody, or who are supervised in the community by probation services.
