I have sent a copy of a letter from Adam Ingram, Minister of State for Armed Forces, to Brian Dixon, which was sent to my MP after I originally put a few questions to him that Brian had devised. Brian will post it for all to see I expect.
In the meantime, this link was included in Mr Ingram's letter as the government's response. I hadn't seen it before and thought it might be of interest to those in a similar position.
