Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, with reference to the Prime Minister's announcement last year of plans to provide 2.5 million former armed forces personnel cards to identify them as veterans (a) what steps have been taken to provide those personnel cards; and whether his Department has set a timeline for when those personnel cards will be issued.
The Ministry of Defence is reviewing a range of options to ensure a form of voluntary veterans' identification is made available. We will make a further announcement later this year.
