Written question asked by Bob Spink (Conservative) on Monday, 11 December 2006, in the House of Commons. It was due for an answer on Wednesday, 13 December 2006. It was answered by Derek Twigg (Labour) on Tuesday, 19 December 2006 on behalf of the Ministry of Defence.
UK Armed Forces Veterans Lapel Badge
- Question
- To ask the Secretary of State for Defence when he estimates the eligibility for the UK Armed Forces Veterans Lapel Badge will be extended beyond 31 December 1969.
- Answer
-
I intend that every veteran should be able to apply for the HM Armed Forces Veteran's Badge at the earliest opportunity. The recent announcement on 8 November 2006 that eligibility had been extended to 1969 was the latest in a challenging programme of such extensions. Our plans are kept under review and further extensions will be announced as soon as practicable, based on the capability of the Veterans Agency to meet the forecast demand.
