Armed Forces: Pensions

Volume 703: debated on Monday 21 July 2008

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will place in the Library of the House the letters sent by the Royal British Legion to Sir Robert Carnwath and by the National Gulf Veterans and Families Association to Lord Morris of Manchester, copies of which were sent to Ministers in the Ministry of Justice, about the meeting held by Sir Robert with people from some ex-service organisations to discuss the future of the Pensions Appeal Tribunal on 20 June; and whether they will copy the letters to all of the ex-service organisations, members of which were at the meeting.[HL4837]

We will write to the Royal British Legion, the National Gulf Veterans and Families Association, Lord Morris of Manchester and representatives from the other service organisations who attended the meeting on 20 June with the Senior President of Tribunals, Sir Robert Carnwath, and ask if they are content for us to lay copies of their letters in the Library of the House. Once they have responded, I will advise the House.
