Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Al Carns and Dave Doogan

Monday 24th March 2025 Commons Chamber

[Dave Doogan (Angus and Perthshire Glens) (SNP)]

Staff Sergeant Peter Cluff died in February 2016, with an in-service designation to that death. His widow, Kirsty, and his children, Meredith and Heather, were in the benefit of the armed forces pension scheme and remain so. However, the scheme made a miscalculation and have sent debt collectors to them to try to recover a fairly small sum. I asked about the matter three months ago and have not had a response from the Department. Will the Secretary of State or one of his Ministers meet me to discuss this unedifying advert for the Ministry of Defence?

[Al Carns]

That is a truly harrowing story. I will absolutely take that on, and we will meet straight after this and get it solved.
