Proceeding contribution from Bob Spink (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 26 February 2008. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Medals (Armed Forces Personnel).


Medals (Armed Forces Personnel)

I congratulate the hon. Gentleman on bringing a very important issue before the House. Last Sunday, I was at the Royal British Legion club on Canvey island, where I met an ex-soldier who is having great difficulty in getting medical help—in this case, mental health medical treatment. He would find that just as important as receiving recognition and medals. No doubt the hon. Gentleman will allude to that. I have received a petition from the Royal British Legion on the military covenant, which I will present to the House next week.
