MP backs veterans’ census campaign

ARGYLL and Bute MP Brendan O’Hara, pictured, has confirmed his support for the Royal British Legion and Poppyscotland’s Count Them In campaign, which calls for questions on the armed forces community to be included in the next UK census.

Mr O’Hara said there are currently between 6.5 million and 6.7 million members of the armed forces community in the UK, but little is known about the exact numbers, location and needs of this group.
