Yes. I was at Armed Forces Day myself—our Welsh national Armed Forces Day—in Caerphilly on Saturday. Very important to support that event. I now I have to say that the one event that stands out in my mind is a gentleman in uniform coming towards me, shaking my hand, and saying, ‘Well done on the election result’, not realising that Alun Cairns was standing next to me. But, nevertheless, I’ll take that for what it is. But I can say, in terms of the issue itself, the Cabinet Secretary for Communities and Children, who chairs, of course, the armed forces expert group, will be meeting with local authority champions following the summer recess to discuss their role and the support they can give to the armed forces community in their areas, building on, of course, what we have already done as a Government.
