Chair's comments
Chair of the Defence Committee, MP, said:
“The welfare of our Armed Forces is at the top of the Defence
Committee’s agenda, and we will continue to explore the range of
issues facing our service personnel and our veterans. At our
evidence sessions with the Veterans Minister and the Office for
Veteran Affairs we have the opportunity to raise questions
directly relating to issues of most concern to our veterans.
We’re keen to hear from veterans and their families and hope they
will take the opportunity to complete our online survey ahead of
the evidence session in June.
We want to help veterans’ voices be heard on issues that concern
them, whether it’s mental or physical health, transition to
civilian life and support in finding a job, or the complaints
system. This is a chance to tell Parliament what you think.”
