Veterans Asked by: Maureen Burke (Labour - Glasgow North East) Thursday 9th January 2025 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what steps he is taking to support veterans. Answered by Al Carns - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence) (Minister for Veterans) This is a Government of service that will always stand up for those who serve our country. I am working across government and with civil society to ensure veterans get access to the support they need. This Government has already taken swift action to demonstrate our commitment to renew this nation’s contract with those who have served. In November the Prime Minister announced an additional £3.5 million of funding for the continuation of the cross-UK Reducing Veterans Homelessness Programme, including Op FORTITUDE. This is in addition to the reforms he announced earlier in the year which mean that veterans are now exempt from local connection and residency tests when applying for social housing in England. Housing support is available across the United Kingdom through Op FORTITUDE, a single referral pathway for veterans. This system provides housing guidance and assistance to veterans experiencing or at risk of homelessness. As of 5 January 2025, 2,993 referrals have been made and 854 veterans have been supported into housing. A range of support is in place for veterans. In England Op RESTORE provides specialist care to veterans who have physical health problems, and Op COURAGE, a specialist mental health service that helps service leavers, veterans and reservists. Healthcare is devolved across the UK, and as such systems that can be accessed by veterans differ in the Devolved Governments. As of 3 January 2025, over 35,000 referrals have been made to Op COURAGE and Op RESTORE has over 1,000 service users. Veterans can also access a range of tailored employment support, including the Career Transition Partnership, which is the initial point of provision for those leaving military service in search of new job opportunities. The Government’s manifesto commitment to include the Veteran Card in the list of voter identification has already been delivered with the legislation coming into effect in December 2024.. In December 2024 the MoD launched an LGBT financial recognition scheme, with a total budget of £75 million, which was 50% higher than the level recommended in the Etherton review and the cap set by the last Government. This will mean that almost all of the 49 recommendations made by Lord Etherton will have been delivered. We will continue to stand up for those who served and have served and are currently reviewing how we can make veterans’ support more institutionally resilient.
Veterans: LGBT+ People Asked by: Jess Brown-Fuller (Liberal Democrat - Chichester) Thursday 28th November 2024 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will make an assessment of the potential merits of lifting the proposed £50 million cap on reparations for LGBT+ veterans. Answered by Luke Pollard - Parliamentary Under-Secretary (Ministry of Defence) Defence is committed to welcoming back LGBT veterans into the Armed Forces community, where they have always belonged. All 49 recommendations made in Lord Etherton’s report have been accepted and to date, 38 of the recommendations have already been implemented, demonstrating the Government’s commitment to supporting our veterans and the LGBT+ community. Lord Etherton’s report demonstrated the broad range of ways that LGBT+ personnel were impacted by the ban. The financial recognition scheme has been designed with this in mind, intending to provide a sense of closure to all those affected. Defence has worked with experts across Government to design an appropriate scheme where applications will be considered on a case-by-case basis, enabling appropriate distribution of the available funds. The Minister for Veterans and People has met Lord Etherton and LGBT Veterans and he plans to provide a further update on the financial recognition scheme before the end of the year.
LGBT Veterans Independent Review Asked by: Clive Efford (Labour - Eltham and Chislehurst) Thursday 18th April 2024 Question to the Ministry of Defence: To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the oral statement of the Minister for Defence People and Families of 13 December 2023 on LGBT Veterans Independent Review, Official Report, column 898, what his planned timetable is for a full debate on the recommendations of the Etherton report. Answered by Andrew Murrison This Government commissioned the LGBT Veterans Independent Review under Lord Etherton in 2022 which covers the period 1967-2000. Its findings were published on 19 July 2023. Since then, the Government has been actioning Lord Etherton’s recommendationsat pace. I made an oral statement on 13 December 2023 when the Government’s full response was published and took questions from 20 colleagues. A debate will be scheduled as soon as possible.
