Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what plans his Department has to make the veterans ID card more widely accepted.

As set out in our manifesto, this Government will address the inconsistencies in voter identification that prevent legitimate electors from voting, specifically including veterans of HM Armed Forces. We are considering what changes we wish to make in order to achieve this and will bring forward proposals in due course.

Currently, some of the uses for the card can be found here: https://www.gov.uk/guidance/using-a-veteran-card-as-a-service-leaver
