Written Question
Armed Forces Covenant
Monday 15th March 2021

Asked by: Marie Rimmer (Labour - St Helens South and Whiston)

Question to the Ministry of Defence:

What recent steps he has taken to improve the Armed Forces Covenant; and if he will make a statement.

Answered by Johnny Mercer

Supporting the Armed Forces Covenant is a key priority and the Government has introduced legislation, as part of the Armed Forces Bill, further incorporating the Armed Forces Covenant into law. The legislation introduces a duty of due regard to the Covenant principles on local public bodies, in key areas of health, housing, and education.

The Armed Forces Covenant Annual Report, published each December, outlines progress we have made as a nation to strengthen the Covenant across the UK.
