Extract from Defence topical questions - June 11

Dr Julian Lewis (New Forest East) (Con): If we cannot protect our service personnel from the Northern Ireland campaign by a statute of limitations coupled with the truth recovery process, who is going to be next: the Falkland Islands veterans, or even the last few from the second world war?

The Secretary of State for Defence (Gavin Williamson): As I touched upon earlier, it is clear that this House has a simple and clear view that we should always do everything we can to protect those who have served our country. We will look at all options to ensure that that is done.
