Veterans Strategy

Proceeding contribution from Baroness Anderson of Stoke-on-Trent (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 November 2018. It occurred during Debate on Veterans Strategy.

I met a veteran earlier this week who went to his local authority to say that he was homeless and needed support. He had been out of service for four months, and he was told that there were others in the queue who were more relevant, including refugees who had just arrived. He ended up homeless and was supported by Help for Heroes. Does that not suggest that local government is still not fulfilling its obligations under the covenant?
