New clause 27 - Extension of benefits to members of
Armed Forces (Pensions and Compensation) Bill
11:00 am
Mr Julian Brazier (Canterbury, Conservative)
I was waiting to see the appointment announced in the London Gazette but was told that it was still under wraps. I congratulate the Minister not only on choosing an excellent individual but on making an appointment for which many members of the reserve forces have been calling for years. It was outrageous that we were the only major English-speaking country without such an appointment, and I congratulate him on grasping the nettle.
