At last night's meeting of the Cross Party Working Group on Veterans and Armed Forces Families, we heard valuable insights into new research on Service children with Additional Support Needs, as well as an encouraging update on the Thrive Together programme.

The Convener, Maurice Golden MSP, and the Chair, Maurice Corry, offered heartfelt thanks to the outgoing group secretary Jim Wilson, and presented him with tokens of esteem in recognition of his many years of service. I join them both in expressing my appreciation and wishing Jim every success in his future endeavours.

Encouraging to hear commitment from across the Scottish Parliament to collaborate in supporting the veteran community during today's debate. Importantly, it was also pleasing to hear recognition of the benefits that veterans and families bring to our communities across Scotland.

My 2025 progress leaflet recognises notable recent achievements in the delivery of improved statutory support and services for the veteran community, while also highlighting areas where improvement is required.
