Draft Armed Forces Act 2006 (Continuation) Order 2024

Rachel Blake Excerpts

Tuesday 15th October 2024 General Committees

[Rachel Blake (Cities of London and Westminster) (Lab/Co-op)]

I thank the Minister for bringing the order forward and I welcome him to his place. I am grateful to him for joining me on a visit to see the innovation that is taking place at St Mary’s hospital in my constituency. I particularly welcome the order as we approach Remembrance Sunday and that period of reflection about the service of our armed forces. I also welcome the progress that the Government are already making on housing for veterans. My constituency contains barracks but also some housing that has been left in a terrible state, and I look forward to working on that issue to support veterans.

[The Chair]

I see no other Members bobbing, so I call the Minister to sum up.
