Veterans: Honours
Monday 25th March 2019

Asked by: Charlie Elphicke (Independent - Dover)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

What steps his Department is taking to ensure that veterans are honoured for their service; and if he will make a statement.

Answered by Tobias Ellwood

Our veterans are honoured and recognised in a number of ways. The publication of the Strategy for our Veterans, the Veterans ID card, the Veterans Badge, Armed Forces Day and events throughout the year, including the D Day 75 commemorations in June, recognise the huge debt we owe to those who have served in HM Armed Forces.

The Armed Forces Covenant is a cross-Government pledge to support the Armed Forces community, including veterans, across all sectors of society.
