Question to the Ministry of Defence:
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, whether the comments by the Minister for Veterans' Affairs in The Guardian and other media on 4 July 2023 resulted in complaints to his Department.
The requested information is not held centrally and could only be provided at disproportionate cost.
Complaints, from both internal and external parties, can be received at many levels within the Department, and at varying degrees of formality, which are not collated centrally. The exercise required to retrieve this information would incur disproportionate cost.
