    The Government has met its manifesto commitment to strengthen the Armed Forces Covenant in law by introducing a new statutory Covenant Duty, which came into force in November 2022. The new duty helps promote better outcomes for the Armed Forces community when accessing key public services. Since 2015, local delivery has been supported by the Covenant Fund, looked after by the Armed Forces Covenant Fund Trust, of more than £10 million each year, which funds projects across the UK in support of the Armed Forces. The Trust have awarded over £14 million since 1 April 2022 to more than 300 projects that support the Armed Forces community across the UK.<\/p>

    Phase one of the Veterans' Recognition Scheme is complete, with Service leavers receiving a HM Armed Forces Veterans' Recognition Card as part of the discharge process; since December 2018, over 56,000 such Cards have been issued to Service leavers. Phase two will extend the scheme to existing veterans so they can more quickly, easily, and securely prove they served in the UK Armed Forces.<\/p>

    As announced during Armed Forces week, more than £1 million in new money is being invested into a new digital service for veterans. This will make it easier and quicker to demonstrate military service in order to access a range of Government and charity services and will in turn help ensure that Recognition Cards are given only to those with verified service. The Government remains committed to delivering Veterans' Recognition Cards and will advise of a timescale for final delivery when this work is complete.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/1466", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Dr Andrew Murrison"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "South West Wiltshire"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Dr Andrew Murrison"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2022-10-31", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2022-10-31T17:44:59.663Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "11"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Defence"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2022-10-21", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Veterans: Identity Cards"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what recent progress his Department has made on phase two of the roll-out of veterans ID cards.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4799", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Charlotte Nichols"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Warrington North"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Charlotte Nichols"} ], "uin" : "68602"} ], "itemsPerPage" : 10, "page" : 0, "startIndex" : 1, "totalResults" : 4, "type" : ["http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#ListEndpoint", "http://purl.org/linked-data/api/vocab#Page"]} }
