We want members of the armed forces and their families to get the fair deal that they deserve, and we will provide support in all circumstances, especially
when the worst possibilities come to pass. I am sure that the House will agree that a lot has been done to support armed forces personnel and their families.
My hon. Friend the Member for Stourbridge has raised some important points about what is a very difficult case, with which she has been closely involved. While the appeal that is taking place means that I cannot comment on the details, I repeat that I am concerned to hear that Mrs. Thompson does not
believe that she had the support that she should have had from the time of her bereavement. My hon. Friend said that Mrs. Thompson was last contacted by a welfare officer in 2005, and that there are problems to do with the coroner’s inquiries and personal effects. I repeat my earlier promise that I will get back to her as soon as possible with the information that she needs for her constituent.
Adjourned accordingly at twenty-one minutes past Twelve o’clock.
