Proceeding contribution from Bob Spink (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Monday, 15 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on Defence in the World.

Defence in the World

This issue cuts right to the heart of the morale of our troops, which is damaged by people playing party politics with these matters. I think that is disgraceful. On troop morale, the right hon. Gentleman knows that when forces return from active service, they face many issues and problems, one of which is getting housing. Will he consider what action the Government could take to force local councils such as Castle Point to give priority to our returning heroes, as that would help their morale?
