Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Craig of Radley (Crossbench). It was answered by Lord Astor of Hever (Conservative) on Thursday, 28 October 2010.
Armed Forces: Refusal of Goods and Services
- Question
- To ask Her Majesty’s Government what steps they are taking to ensure that members of the Armed Forces are not discriminated against in the provision of goods and services in the United Kingdom, particularly while wearing their uniform.
- Answer
-
My Lords, our Armed Forces are currently deployed to the most demanding areas of conflict to maintain our national security. I am sure the whole House will agree that there is no place for those who, without good reason, refuse to provide goods and services to service personnel wearing uniform. Where incidences do occur, it is mostly a local issue. Commanding officers have been given guidance on suitable action to resolve matters, based on engagement with the local community.
