Tony recently added his backing to the Royal British Legion’s campaign for Prospective Parliamentary Candidates to support the Armed Forces up to and beyond the General Election.

Kevin Shinkwin, the Legion’s Head of Public Affairs, said: “We’re really grateful to Tony Lloyd for pledging to do his bit. The entire Armed Forces family needs the support of  politicians from all parties, and our manifesto outlines practical ways the next government can help. We hope all the parties will give it serious consideration and that every Prospective Parliamentary Candidate will pledge to do their bit”.

Tony said:  “I was delighted to support The Royal British Legion. They have an important role to play in highlighting the needs of the whole Armed Forces family. I have pledged to do my bit and I would encourage others to do the same by visiting the website – http://www.timetodoyourbit.org.uk “
