answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2017 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence (MOD) has no plans to create a register of veterans.</p><p>The Department has, however, sponsored the inclusion of questions about veterans in the Office for National Statistics' Annual Population Survey (APS) in order to provide the evidence base required by Government, third parties and the private sector to aid policy development in support of the Armed Forces Covenant and to better understand the UK Armed Forces veteran population in Great Britain. The APS has enabled analysis of veterans by socio-demographic characteristics including: gender, age, location, health, smoking status, employment and accommodation (housing). The latest publication for 2015 is available at the following website: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/annual-population-survey-uk-armed-forces-veterans-residing-in-great-britain-2015.</p><p>The vast majority of Service leavers make a smooth transition from military to civilian life. Support for veterans, like all other members of the general population, is provided by the wider Government including local authorities and the Devolved Administrations. The MOD is determined to ensure that veterans who require help are provided with appropriate support including through the Veterans UK helpline and website, the Veterans Welfare Service and the Veterans Information Service which contacts veterans 12 months after their discharge.</p><p>Most recently, the launch of the Veterans Gateway on 20 June provided by a consortium of charities led by the Royal British Legion provides extra support in the form of a staffed, 24-hour, one-stop-shop offering guidance on accessing public, private and charitable services in the UK.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 27/06/2017 15:46:59 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood

question text	To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what support he plans to make available to homeless veterans in the next five years.
tabling member constituency	Easington
tabling member printed	Grahame Morris
uin	346
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2017 answer text <p>The Ministry of Defence does not have primary responsibility for homeless veterans but works closely with the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG), other Government Departments, veterans' organisations and other service providers to ensure a coordinated and structured approach to homelessness amongst a small minority of veterans. Our aim is both to prevent new Service leavers becoming homeless and to provide an effective safety net for existing homeless veterans. Current measures to achieve this include enhanced housing advice and assistance to all Service personnel, and an extension of the Forces Help to Buy Scheme until 2018. In addition, the DCLG has extended the period within which veterans are given priority for Government funded shared ownership schemes, from 12 to 24 months after service. Support to our veterans, including the homeless, is provided through the Veterans UK helpline and website, the Veterans Welfare Service and the Veterans Information Service which contacts veterans 12 months after their discharge. The Veterans Gateway, launched on 20 June by a consortium of charities led by the Royal British Legion, provides a 24 hour advice service to help with issues such as finance, housing and health.</p> answering member constituency Bournemouth East answering member printed Mr Tobias Ellwood question first answered 27/06/2017 15:08:57 answering member 1487 label Biography information for Mr Tobias Ellwood
