	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 04/07/2018 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has no plans to provide funding for the 2019 military adaptive sporting event for Service personnel and veterans or the 2020 Invictus Games. Both events will be delivered by a three-way partnership between the Royal British Legion, Help for Heroes and the MOD. The partners recognise the impact on Invictus of the cessation of LIBOR money and have decided, therefore, to increase efforts to generate improved levels of sponsorship and donations. To facilitate this effort, the MOD has recently appointed a senior (one star) military officer to support the Partnership Board. This is in addition to the manpower which MOD already provides in support of the partnership.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood grouped question UIN 158300 question first answered 04/07/2018 15:31:46 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
