§ Mr. KeyTo ask the Secretary of State for Defence when he last met representatives of the Army Families Federation; and what was discussed. [88362]
§ Mr. George RobertsonI met representatives of the Army Families Federation at their annual conference on 23 September 1998. In my speech and in the question and answer session I discussed the Policy for People initiative announced as part of the Strategic Defence Review. This included the Service Families Task Force, education, health and welfare. In addition, last week I met AFF representatives and Army families in Germany to hear their current concerns at first hand.
