Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Lord Morris of Manchester (Labour), on Monday, 4 December 1995, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 287 members in total.


CARE AND WELFARE OF EX-SERVICE PEOPLE

That this House, mindful of the increasing needs of the United Kingdom's ageing ex-service population and the many problems of younger members of the ex-service community, in direct consequence of Options for Change, considers that there is now a pressing need for a sub-department of Ex-Service Affairs within an existing Ministry and with a designated Minister to be responsible, as the only fundamental and long-term solution for the care and welfare of ex-Service people and their dependants; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government now to respond positively to the Royal British Legion's urgent call for a sub-department to be established.
