§ Mr. Alfred MorrisTo ask the Prime Minister what recent assessment he has made of the effectiveness of interdepartmental co-operation in relation to ex-service affairs; and if he will meet the chairman of the Royal British Legion to discuss his views on this matter. [19670]
§ The Prime MinisterI have no plans to do so. My noble Friend Lord Mackay of Ardbrecknish has regular meetings with ex-services organisations, including the Royal British Legion. In addition, my noble Friends Lord Mackay of Ardbrecknish and Lord Henley met 435W the Royal British Legion on 23 November 1994 to discuss the provision of Government services to ex-service men and women.
The Government's continuing commitment is to ensure that all Departments provide an effective service for every citizen.
