Oral Answers to Questions

Vicky Foxcroft Excerpts

Monday 22nd October 2018 Commons Chamber

[Gavin Williamson]

The helpline is an important part of everything we do, but we can never rest in looking at what more we can do to support those who are serving and those who have served.

[Vicky Foxcroft (Lewisham, Deptford) (Lab)]

T4. My Jamaican constituent applied for leave to remain after serving with the Royal Marines for seven years. He has post-traumatic stress disorder and found it difficult to cope with the increasing demands for information from the Home Office. What is the MOD doing so that service members are directed to support services when they leave the armed forces?

[Mark Lancaster]

We offer an enormous amount of support through the career transition partnership, and we offer mental health and, indeed, physical support to veterans. If the hon. Lady would like to write to me with the details of that individual case, I am more than happy to look into it.
