John Mann MP for Bassetlaw, has been thanked for pledging to do his bit for the British Armed Forces family.

John Mann met with a delegation from The Royal British Legion at Westminster last week to get behind the charity's call for MP's to support the whole Armed Forces family. John also discussed the Legion's manifesto and the changes that it is calling for.

The manifesto sets out priorities for the next Government to improve conditions for the British Armed Forces past and present and their families. It encourages MP's to "do their bit" for Service Personnel and their families, the bereaved, veterans and dependants.

During the meeting, John was photographed with a giant replica of the personalised pledge card, which he has been given by the Legion in recognition of his pledge.

Kevin Shinkwin, the Legion's Head of Public Affairs, said, "We're delighted to give John Mann his pledge card in recognition of his pledge to do his bit."

"Both the serving and ex-Service community need the support of politicians," he added. "Our manifesto outlines practical ways the next government can help, and we hope all the parties will give it serious consideration".

John Mann said, "I was really pleased to pledge to do my bit to assist the British Legion with their work. I know what they do for the whole Armed Forces family matters not just to me, but to so many of my constituents as well. It's so important we all get behind them".
