Care And Welfare Of Ex-Service People

EDM number 6 in 1994-95, proposed by Alfred Morris on 16/11/1994.

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.

This motion has been signed by a total of 271 MPs, 6 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
