<p>Ministry of Defence (MOD) Ministers regularly discuss the Armed Forces Covenant
with local authorities and representative bodies. MOD officials have written to Chief
Executives and included local authorities from across the UK in group discussions
on the Secretary of State's legislative proposals, to gather views and explain the
impact of legislation, particularly with regard to new burdens. Individual meetings
are also held with local authorities who request them. Collaboration will intensify
further, as local authorities work with Government on guidance which will accompany
legislation.</p>
