Question to the Ministry of Defence:

To ask Her Majesty's Government whether (1) foreign and commonwealth serving military personnel, and (2) foreign and commonwealth veterans, have a special point of contact in the Ministry of Defence.

All serving personnel, regardless of their nationality, have access to a comprehensive system of advice and support from their Chain of Command, welfare staff and Padres. If the issue cannot be resolved at that level, it may be referred to the relevant Ministry of Defence policy owner, and where specialist advice or support is required, individuals will be sign posted to the appropriate organisations.

During transition from and after leaving the service, the Defence Transition Service (DTS) delivers a full range of transition support for individuals, as a service leaver or family member, working directly with the service leaver to provide tailored information and guidance. DTS will facilitate access to the support they need, whether that be from other Government departments, local authorities, the NHS or trusted charities. The Veterans UK Welfare Service provide support to all veterans both overseas and in the UK, regardless of nationality. This includes helping them to access the relevant information and advice they need about their individual circumstances.
