Veterans Strategy

Proceeding contribution from Tobias Ellwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 November 2018. It occurred during Debate on Veterans Strategy.

I do recognise that. If I may, I will come on to that. I am simply making the point that this was the first time there was a recognition of shell shock—post-traumatic stress disorder. These were names that did not really apply then. There was not a full understanding of what was going on with our troops, but there was a recognition by the nation that we had to look after our returning troops in one form or another. There was a duty of care, which is what we are focusing on today.
