Rejected petition Start recording the rate of suicides & open verdicts of ex British Servicemen.
Rejected on
The US have a public record of the suicide rate amongst their Veterans. In the UK we have no record. It is a matter of public interest that a record is kept regarding the post-service conduct of former servicemen and women. No record on suicides or open verdicts seems more than a little uncaring.
See half way down page two starting with: “I can confirm…”
