asked Her Majesty's Government:

What response the Ministry of Defence has received on the first phase of its War Pension Stewardship Review from the Royal British Legion; and when they expect to comment on the response. [HL1871]

Officials have held a number of initial informal discussions with the ex-service organisations including the Royal British Legion to obtain their first thoughts.

All submissions will be considered in order to decide what options may be developed. We will continue to work with the Central Advisory Committee in taking the review forward. Any proposals will be subject to full consultation in due course.
