Oral Answers to Questions

Bob Stewart Excerpts

Wednesday 17th June 2020 Commons Chamber

[The Prime Minister]

No. The furlough scheme should be available for everybody.

[Bob Stewart (Beckenham) (Con)]

It is really good to see the Prime Minister looking fighting fit. Where are we in the process of trying to stop repeated vexatious claims against servicemen and women who have been involved in fatality shootings in the Northern Ireland campaign?

[The Prime Minister]

My hon. Friend is right. We will be bringing forward legislation that focuses on protecting people who have been involved, whether victims or veterans alike, ensuring equal treatment in Northern Ireland for our veterans and also for those who have served overseas.
