Dr. Reid

I had a very useful meeting with the Secretary General of the Royal British Legion on 11 March to discuss his organisation's current views on how best to improve the handling of ex-Service affairs. My Department will be looking closely at options for approaching the wider question of matters relating to the ex-Service community in the light of these discussions.
