Veterans not only defended the nation while in service, but they go on to deliver the second mission of Government, which is to help us prosper.

Op Ascend, which we launched at the National Transition Event, has seen thousands of families and veterans connected up with industry to move that collaboration forward. I will write the hon. Lady with details about specific industries in due course.
