Tesco: Army

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, how many Army regiments have provided Tesco vouchers to their members.

Answer

Tesco vouchers have only been provided by the Rifles Benevolent Trust, to help its members with the cost of living. The Trust is a non-Public Charity to support Riflemen (serving and veterans) and their dependants in need. Regimental Associations, and the Benevolent Trusts they run, are independent and decide how they use their funds to provide support.
