Proceeding contribution from Willie Rennie (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 May 2008. It occurred during Debate on Defence in the World.


Defence in the World

I am a member of the Defence Committee, which produced the report, and I found many instances of first-class care. However, one of the evidence sessions in Scotland was cringeworthy. The quality of the advice and support from the officials and the Executive was disgraceful. Last week, the Scottish Executive announced a fund of £127,000 over three years for veterans in Scotland, which is a miserly and pathetic response to the report.
