	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/01/2015 answer text <p>The first community grant application from HQ 38 (Irish) Brigade was submitted in January 2015. There have been no previous applications submitted because there have been no Community Covenants signed in Northern Ireland.</p><p>Despite this, good progress has been made on Covenant issues during 2014 with nearly all of the measures in the Covenant now extending to Northern Ireland. HQ 38 (Irish) Brigade provides a focus for taking Covenant issues forward in the region. The Armed Forces Covenant annual report, laid before the House on 16 December 2014, highlights this progress. I am planning to visit Northern Ireland soon, and I will take the opportunity to see for myself the progress that has been made and its effect on the Armed Forces Community in the Province.</p><p>We will continue to engage with the Northern Ireland Executive to ensure that the needs of the Armed Forces community are met.</p> answering member constituency Broxtowe answering member printed Anna Soubry question first answered 21/01/2015 16:35:35 answering member 3938 label Biography information for Anna Soubry
