<p>Within the Army's Personnel Services Group (APSG), the Operational Legacy team
coordinates welfare and pastoral support to Army veterans and serving personnel who
are subject to historical investigations. APSG has drawn together all stakeholders
(Including those in the Ministry of Defence, the appropriate Regimental Headquarters
and Associations, the Confederation of Service Charities and 'ABF - The Soldiers'
Charity') to ensure coherent pastoral support to veterans, under the primacy of the
MOD's Veterans UK. This is incorporated into the recently announced UK-Wide Veterans'
Strategy and is supported by £10 million of funding overall. I am confident that this
demonstrates that the Department has a clear strategy and is meeting its obligations
to veterans subject to historical investigations, whilst also protecting the Army's
reputation for future generations of soldiers.</p>
