My hon. Friend will be aware that phase 1 of this project is already completed, which is to say that as people leave the armed forces, they are issued with their veterans cards. Those who left before December 2018 should get their cards by the end of this year.

The right hon. Gentleman will know full well that the United Kingdom is probably the lead nation on many fronts among our European peers— financially, in terms of kit and in supporting the people who are conducting the fight against Putin's aggression. We will continue to do that, and at the weekend in Düsseldorf, I reiterated that to my Ukrainian counterpart.

The UK Government prefer action rather than words, and I point to the 20,000 Ukrainians we are training, to Storm Shadow and to the fact that kit is going out the door right now and being used on the ground. Rhetoric is one thing; action is another.

CEA is an important way of making sure that the education of service children is not disrupted. To that end, I have asked for a review of CEA to make sure it is fit for purpose, and I will have the results of that review later this year.

I am grateful to the hon. Lady for her question. Yes, I can commit to meet her and her constituent, if she wishes to do so.

My hon. Friend asks an excellent question. It must be clear to everyone just from what is available on social media that uncrewed air systems, as they are called, have an extraordinary impact in theatre. I reassure him that we are working on a strategy to look at how we can make the most of this capability to ensure that, above all, we have our own cutting-edge sovereign capability.

I did give a statement to the House—I do not know whether the hon. Gentleman was present—in which I confirmed that we would learn the lessons of the Sheldon review, but, above all, confirmed the good news that Ajax was with the field Army for regular training.

My hon. Friend will forgive me if I do not know off the top of my head what those recommendations relate to. I can say to him that Defence is very fortunate in having him and his colleagues as co-authors of the report on the armed forces family strategy steering group, acting as critical friends and holding Defence to account against the strategy action plan.

At the moment, we are not releasing specific details because the work is ongoing. The Defence Infrastructure Organisation has been undertaking a huge amount of work since 2019 on RAAC in the MOD context. There is no impact from RAAC on service family accommodation.

A lot of work is going on to improve the speed of procurement. A visit has been planned to meet companies in her part of the world in a couple of weeks, which will be coordinated with her office.

Agrees with the hon. Friend about the ongoing threat of violent extremism, despite increased focus on hostile state actors. Tribute is paid to armed forces engaged in countering violence and extremism.

The armed forces compensation scheme is up and running, but there have been delays in some applications. The best available science as assessed by the independent medical expert group informs policy compliance.

Rapid procurement has been seen, particularly in relation to urgent requirements at Abbey Wood. A meeting is planned shortly with major Ukrainian defence industrialists, which the hon. Friend invited me to attend.

The Prime Minister engages with world leaders regularly, and he continues to deliver commitments as previous Secretaries of State did. The issue might be mentioned in the PM's statement later.

The hon. Gentleman is congratulated by Bill Cooksey on completing the Great North Run at such an extraordinary age. The Minister admires him hugely.

If unable to visit the specific company, forums will be held around the country, including one in Wales and another planned in his part of the world. The hon. Gentleman will receive further details.

The Deputy Prime Minister leads a cross-Government effort. The National Security Act 2023, National Security Investment Act 2021 and the £2.6 billion investment through the national cyber strategy 2022 are part of the efforts to combat state threats.

Clearly, we want to improve service accommodation all the time. However, 97% of service accommodation meets or exceeds the decent home standard. That is admirable compared with the record of many local authorities. We are investing in accommodation, and it is improving all the time. I very much regret the occasional report of accommodation that falls short of the mark, and we seek to rectify it as soon as we can.

It would certainly make it far more expensive. It would also threaten small schools like Warminster School in my constituency, which relies very much on service families. I just reflect on the sacrifices made by all people I know who choose to send their children to independent schools, and in particular members of the defence community who are of course required to make a substantial contribution to their children's education in the event that they choose to educate them in the independent sector.
