It includes background information, views and different perspectives from many longstanding members of the Armed Forces and includes lesson ideas, areas for discussion and links to other publications and information. We often highlight free resources but believe that schools are best placed to decide which materials they wish to use.</p><p>[1] <a href="http://www.armedforceslearningresources.co.uk/" target="_blank">www.armedforceslearningresources.co.uk</a></p><p> </p> answering member constituency Yeovil answering member printed Mr David Laws question first answered 20/10/2014 15:26:19 answering member 1473 label Biography information for Mr David Laws
