Proceeding contribution from Bob Russell (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 November 2011. It occurred during Debate and Adjournment debate on Armed Forces Personnel.
Armed Forces Personnel
My hon. Friend is right to pay tribute to the previous Government for the measures they took. The veterans badge is another measure that has helped many of our former military personnel to show their support now that they are on civvy street. Does he agree that the armed forces community covenant would be further boosted, if those who served in Her Majesty's armed forces—often national servicemen—were allowed an armed forces service medal, which they could wear with pride on Remembrance Sunday? They served King and country, Queen and country.
