answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2019 answer text <p>The prosecution of veterans is something that we take very seriously. Our Service personnel are of course subject to the law, but veterans should not have to face repeated investigations many years after the events in question. This is why we have just completed a public consultation on proposed legal protections measures for serving personnel and veterans. Once we have analysed the responses, we will bring forward legislation.</p> answering member constituency Plymouth, Moor View answering member printed Johnny Mercer question first answered 21/10/2019 16:42:04 answering member 4485 label Biography information for Johnny Mercer

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/10/2019 answer text <p>I understand and sympathise with the veterans affected. However, the issue of pre-1975 pensions is common to all contemporary public service schemes. Given the likely number of former employees, the financial impact of resolving legacy pension issues is expected to be very significant. There would also be potentially overwhelming practical and administrative difficulties in recreating precise service and pay records and calculating pension awards for people who served about half a century ago, or for their surviving dependants.</p> answering member constituency Plymouth, Moor View answering member printed Johnny Mercer question first answered 21/10/2019 16:41:21 answering member 4485 label Biography information for Johnny Mercer
