Royal British Legion

On Wednesday the 7th July I attended the All Party Parliamentary Group reception for the Royal British Legion. The Legion does an amazing job of looking out for the welfare, interests and memory of those who are serving or who have served in the Armed Forces. It is one of the UK's largest membership organisations and recognised as custodians of Remembrance and the annual Poppy Appeal.

At the event the Legion showed us a film outlining one way in which they support the Armed Forces family through their new Independent Inquest Advice (IIA) Service. The IIA is a free, confidential and professional service, which will be available for the first time to bereaved Service families throughout the UK. It will provide high quality, timely and independent advice to bereaved families during the investigation into in-Service deaths, including the Service Inquiry and Inquest. I hope that this will prove an invaluable resource for any constituents who need support through the Service Inquiry and Inquest process at what can be a desperately sad and difficult time for them.
