Alongside this, the COVID-19 Impact fund has provided nearly £6m of support to over 100 Armed Forces charities including those working in the housing sector.</p><p> </p> answering member constituency Plymouth, Moor View answering member printed Johnny Mercer question first answered 02/10/2020 13:29:18 answering member 4485 label Biography information for Johnny Mercer
