Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of providing support to Halton Veterans Legion for a veterans reunion to mark the sinking of USS Evans.
This question was answered on 2nd May 2023
The Ministry of Defence recognises the tragic events surrounding the sinking of the USS FRANK E. EVANS that led to the loss of 74 lives. While the Ministry of Defence goes to great lengths to commemorate the actions of Service personnel, it cannot provide support in all cases. There are no plans to provide support in this instance.
