Proceeding contribution from Andrew Murrison (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 2 June 2026. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HC) and Debate on bill on Armed Forces Bill.
Armed Forces Bill
I am sure the Minister will like to pay tribute to Alabaré, which does great work for service veterans in and around my constituency. However, will he ensure that we do not give the false impression that all veterans are homeless and have mental health problems? Nothing could be further from the truth. Happily, the great majority of people leaving our armed forces are well sorted in their life, and in robust mental health. That is important, since we need to attract people to join our armed forces and our reserve forces, not deter them or put them off.
