On 21 April at 2:30pm, Veterans Scotland will be hosting a virtual hustings on-line, which we believe that this is the first event of this type that will focus on the Armed Forces and Veterans Community. The event will take the form of an MS Teams Live Event.
The main political parties in Scotland have been invited to present their perspectives on the Armed Forces and Veterans Community. The attached flyer shows those who have agreed to speak so far.
Should you have any questions you would wish to be put to the Parties in advance of the meeting, please send them to me at gensec@veteransscotland.org.uk by Friday 16 April. The ‘chat’ feature on Teams should enable questions to be raised during the meeting. Whilst Defence is a reserved matter, there are many issues that affect the Armed Forces and Veterans Community for which the devolved administration in Scotland has responsibility; it is the latter that we are expecting to focus the discussions on.
Should you wish to attend on the day, please follow the link below; please feel free to share this link more widely.
