Government is also working with local authorities to ensure their suicide prevention plans support more men.</p><p>Throughout the month of November, Defence is encouraging all personnel to take part in Movember to remind and support each other on important issues surrounding men's physical and mental health.</p> answering member constituency Plymouth, Moor View answering member printed Johnny Mercer question first answered 05/11/2019 11:50:04 answering member 4485 label Biography information for Johnny Mercer
