Oral Answers to Questions

Debate between Johnny Mercer and David Mundell

Monday 21st October 2019 Commons Chamber

[The Minister for Defence People and Veterans (Johnny Mercer)]

The veterans gateway received an initial period of funding, and it is supported by a consortium of charities. It has been a success in helping veterans access help in this country, and a long-term plan is being devised for it at the moment. I would be more than happy to meet the hon. Gentleman to discuss that in due course.

[David Mundell (Dumfriesshire, Clydesdale and Tweeddale) (Con)]

T2. Will the relevant Minister meet me as a matter of urgency to discuss the interminable delay in agreeing a lease for the Eastriggs site of MOD Longtown? This delay is causing a threat to important investment and job creation in my constituency.
