Last week, Richard welcomed The Rt Hon Sir David Davis MP to Biggleswade Library to talk with the local Armed Forces and Veterans Clubs at their weekly coffee morning.
Richard Fuller MP said:
David spoke to the group about the Labour Government’s shameful attempts to repeal the Northern Ireland Troubles Legacy Act, passed by the previous Conservative Government.
Repealing the Act will remove protections for our veterans who served in Northern Ireland and will open the floodgates to a new wave of vexatious legal action against brave members of our armed services who did their duty frequently in highly stressful situations.
These are British soldiers who put their lives on the line to keep us safe. The Government is not only betraying those who served but also endangering our military capability into the future.
We must protect our veterans from vexatious prosecutions. The Conservatives will keep fighting to defend those who defended us then and still do so today.
