Proceeding contribution from Chris Elmore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 November 2018. It occurred during Debate on Armed Forces Covenant.
Armed Forces Covenant
The right hon. Gentleman read out the opening remarks of the covenant. I am sure he will agree that a lot of the responsibilities for the covenant rest with local authorities. With funding settlements from the Ministry of Defence coming for only two-year periods, does he not agree that there is a need for more certainty in implementing the covenant? If authorities are given funding beyond the two-year funding formula, we could put in place long-term plans for supporting veterans and, indeed, bereaved families.
