British Armed Forces
Tony Wright MP has been thanked for pledging to do his bit for the British Armed Forces family at a recent Royal British Legion event in parliament.
Tony met with a delegation from The Royal British Legion at
The manifesto sets out priorities for the next Government to improve conditions for the British Armed Forces past and present and their families. It encourages MPs and prospective parliamentary candidates to “do their bit” for Service Personnel and their families, the bereaved, veterans and dependants.
During the meeting, Tony was photographed with a giant replica of the personalised pledge card, which he has been given by the Legion in recognition of his pledge.
Kevin Shinkwin, the Legion’s Head of Public Affairs, said:
‘We’re delighted to give Tony his pledge card in recognition of his pledge to do his bit. Our message to every MP and candidate standing at the general election is very simple: “It’s time to do your bit.” The pledge is a great way of showing your support for the whole Armed Forces family, both now and beyond the general election.
‘Both the serving and ex-Service community need the support of politicians. Our manifesto outlines practical ways the next government can help, and we hope all the parties will give it serious consideration.’
Tony said:
‘I was really pleased to pledge to do my bit and to get my pledge card from the Legion. I know the work they do for the whole Armed Forces family matters not just to me, but to so many of my constituents as well. It’s so important we all get behind them, and I’m looking forward to seeing how my party responds to their manifesto.’
