6% Claim within part 2 of Overseas Operation bill 2021
Dear Ministry of Defence,
How many troop/veteran claims for personal injury did MOD settle in the 7 years prior to New Overseas Operations Bill (2021). Please give figures for each individual year. If you could also provide that data for how many of those claims were made post 6 years of diagnosis.
Could you Provide the calculation used to get to 'Only up to 6% of claims would be stopped' if Part 2 of Overseas Operations Bill would gain Royal Assent.
Johnny Mercer's claim in both houses during ping pong. Just in case you need to ask him how he arrived at his 6% figure.
Were the 'Live' Gulf War claims part of this calculation?
If not. Why not?
Regards,
Gavin Roberts
