Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether he has made an assessment of the potential merits of moving the headquarters of the Office for Veterans’ Affairs to an English county outside of Greater London.

Office for Veterans’ Affairs (OVA) staff are principally based in both London and York, along with some additional locations. With the roll out of VALOUR Field Officers, there will be OVA representation across the UK by the end of 2026.
