Proceeding contribution from Paul Sweeney (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 26 June 2019. It occurred during Debate on Armed Forces Day.
Armed Forces Day
The Minister makes an important point about the need for proper integration and co-ordination of the charities supporting our veterans. I join in his remarks about Reserves Day. Having served in the reserves for 12 years, I think it is important to acknowledge the sacrifices made by reservists. Thousands of them have served on operations overseas. We should recognise the impact that may have had on their personal life, and they should not be forgotten when it comes to supporting veterans.
