Amend The Equality Act protected status serving/veterans of the UK Armed forces

Summary

To amend the current Equality Act in order to include/confirm protected status for all individual serving and past veterans (both regular and reserve forces) of the UK Armed forces. This would be done to recognise and reward the unique nature of all members past and present of the UK Armed forces. This helps to ensure that individual service is recognised and that our country in turn repays the debt of honour by providing priority treatment for housing, healthcare, finance, employment, education and access to mental health services. Protected status for veterans under the Equality Act would be a fitting tribute to the work and the service of our armed forces.
