Tonia Antoniazzi Excerpts

Monday 7th November 2022 Commons Chamber

[James Heappey]

Maybe, but we have not accounted any money against ODA in the MOD thus far this year.

[Tonia Antoniazzi (Gower) (Lab)]

Recently I met Richard Morgan from 65 Degrees North, a charity that seeks to help in the rehabilitation of wounded, injured and sick service personnel and veterans by giving them the opportunity to participate in challenging adventure. Do Ministers agree that there is a need to change the perception of physical and mental disabilities through this spirt of adventure, and will they congratulate the charity on the work it does?

[Dr Murrison]

I most certainly do congratulate it on the work it does. I am very positive about disability in the armed forces. I point the hon. Lady to the diversity and inclusion strategy, which sets out the blueprint for how we can do much better. I would be more than happy to meet the charity that she has cited, and I congratulate it on the work it does.
