Written question asked by Lord Morris of Manchester (Labour), in the House of Lords. It was answered by Lord Drayson (Labour) on Monday, 8 May 2006.


Iraq: Veterans

Question
Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Drayson on 18 April (WA 184) about the publicly stated comments of incapacitated veterans of the Iraq war, why the mobility-restricted veteran Corporal Corrigan was left without the ability to reach his home independently after being flown back to RAF Halton.
Answer

I regret that administrative shortcomings resulted in Corporal Corrigan having to make his own way home from RAF Halton. Procedures have since been revised to ensure that appropriate transport arrangements are available.
