Summary

I want the Government to make it a specific criminal offence for any person to pretend to be serving or to have served in His Majesty’s Armed Forces. Any person gaining any financial or any type of help by pretending to have served in the Armed Forces past or present should be made a specific criminal offence under charges similar to fraud. This includes turning up to parades wearing medals.
