Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, when he plans to publish the results of the UK wide survey for veterans and their families.
Answered by Johnny Mercer
The Veterans’ Survey was the first UK-wide data collection from the veterans community that was led by the Government. It was a huge success, with more than 30,000 responses received.
The results of the survey are expected to be available by autumn this year and will be published on the Office for National Statistics’ website in due course.
In the meantime, we have recently launched the Veterans’ Data Dashboard, bringing together veterans’ data from different public bodies for the first time. The Dashboard will provide a snapshot to the public, veterans and service providers so they can learn about the community, as well as the different services offered by the Government to support veterans.
