Context
The Labour Party committed to creating an Armed Forces Commissioner in their manifesto, which was recently passed as the Armed Forces Commissioner Act 2025.
One of Labour’s key manifesto commitments was to give our armed forces greater representation through the creation of an Armed Forces Commissioner—a promise that we have made good on with the passing of the Armed Forces Commissioner Act 2025 last week. How does the Minister expect that to improve the lives of our service personnel and their families?
As my hon. Friend rightly notes, the Armed Forces Commissioner Act received Royal Assent last week, which is a fantastic step forward. As she highlights, there is more to do; there are many aspects of service life where even small changes could make a massive difference to the overall experience of service personnel.
