answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 20/05/2021 answer text <p>The Government recognises the unique commitment that service families make to our country and remains sympathetic to the circumstances of those who remarried and cohabited before 1 April 2015. The Ministry of Defence is exploring options that ensure consistency with established Government convention that such payments are not made retrospectively. The issue remains a priority for the Department, though it remains very complex. The Defence Secretary has taken a personal lead in this matter and wrote to Mrs Mary Moreland, the former Chair of the War Widows Association. The Department is ensuring that the necessary time and resource is committed to examine every reasonable option that remains possible.</p><p> </p> answering member printed Baroness Goldie question first answered 20/05/2021 14:24:28 answering member 4306 label Biography information for Baroness Goldie

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 22/06/2020 answer text <p>Sentinel's radar and mission system are now increasingly obsolescent and will face increasing reliability issues as time progresses. Retaining the capability would have required significant upgrade expenditure and the March 2021 out of service date (OSD) has been retained. It is necessary to retire certain capabilities at planned OSDs to allow re-investment in future capability.</p> answering member printed Baroness Goldie question first answered 22/06/2020 15:24:31 answering member 4306 label Biography information for Baroness Goldie
