Labour flip-flops on funding vets... again
April 17, 2025
|Scottish Daily Express
VETERANS have been told their D-Day costs will be fully-funded after all - just hours after the Government refused to cough up cash for their annual pilgrimage to France.
Our remaining World War Two survivors and the Daily Express forced a humiliating climbdown after fury erupted over a decision to renege on a promise to pay for bed and board.
Veterans Minister Al Carns issued a humiliating statement addressing the shambles, saying: “For the avoidance of doubt, our Government will ensure the support is there for Second World War veterans to attend VE Day and D-Day commemorations overseas this year.
“Veterans will be at the heart of commemorations to mark the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe in May.
“I'm pleased to confirm that the Government will work with veterans’ charities to ensure Second World War veterans can travel to commemorations this summer.”
