Proceeding contribution from Lord Craig of Radley (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 16 May 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Armed Forces Covenant.


Armed Forces Covenant

I thank the noble Lord very much for repeating the Statement and I look forward to reading the documents he has talked about. A number of the areas of support mentioned in the Statement for Armed Forces personnel, veterans and families deal with health, education and local government support. These are devolved Administration responsibilities. Can the Minister explain how the Government are going to ensure that all the devolved Administrations march in step and that there is no possibility of some postcode lottery in the treatment of individuals by separate Administrations?
