Stephen Pound (Ealing North) (Lab)
The establishment of a taskforce is occasionally a mechanism for kicking the can down the road, but in this case I give the Minister credit for his good intentions. Will he consider adding the Royal British Legion to the list of consultees, because there is a real issue of disabled ex-servicemen and women having a great deal of difficulty getting into work?
Justin Tomlinson
That is an important point, and something we are already doing work on. I would be happy to discuss that further.
