Proceeding contribution from Simon Hughes (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 16 May 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Armed Forces Covenant.


Armed Forces Covenant

Tributes have rightly been given to the Royal British Legion, whose UK headquarters are in my constituency, for its fantastic campaign, which has led us to today. Will the Secretary of State assure us that the implication of his announcement on the covenant is that those leaving active service and leaving the services will be entitled thereafter to housing, if they do not have it, and to prompt and continuing health care, particularly mental health care, from the time that they are discharged?
