Good afternoon folks, As you may remember MP Richard Graham recently asked a question in the House of Commons on our behalf and the Policing Minister agreed to a meeting. The meeting went ahead on February 1st and as a result Mr Graham remains ready to put forward our case once more if the armed forces ladies are successful in having their pensions reinstated; they are currently in limbo as the MOD have been 'considering' their case for months. Our meeting with Nazir Afzal on 9th March has been cancelled; the meeting has been rescheduled for the 29th March and Mick Hume PFEW will be representing us. This delay presents us with more time to contact the remainder of the 40 Police and Crime Commissioners in England and Wales; to-date we have contacted the following: David Keane – Cheshire Peter McCall – Cumbria Alison Hernandez – Devon and Cornwall David Lloyd – Hertfordshire Keith Hunter – Humberside Lord Back – Leicestershire Vera Baird – Northumbria Philip Seccombe – Warwickshire John-Paul Campion – West Mercia David Jamieson – West Midlands Angus Macpherson – Wiltshire If your PCC is not listed here please contact them and ask them if they are willing to support our campaign alongside their colleagues in the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners – some PCCs have already agreed to meetings. Deb Poole, Jan Roberts and Jan's partner Gordon did us proud in their interviews for BBC Wales; they were aired in various length and detail on both TV and Radio throughout February 21st and 22nd. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-39043909 http://www.bbc.co.uk/cymrufyw/39046304 Many thanks to them as talking about such an emotional subject in the media is always difficult and the prospect of appearing on TV is downright nerve- wracking. Not a long update this time around – I like to reassure you that there is always someone beavering away behind the scenes to keep our cause on the agenda. As always I can be contacted at this email address CathrynHall@outlook.com Best wishes, Cathryn
