PENDLE MP Andrew Stephenson met with the Royal British Legion’s area manager Richard Foster.
Last week Mr Stephenson attended an event in the Houses of Parliament showcasing the legion’s work in the Pendle area.
He discussed with Mr Foster the changing face of Armed Forces welfare provision in the local community.
Mr Foster said: “It was great to see Andrew. We really appreciated him making time.
“Many people don’t realise that we spend £1.6 million every week in direct welfare support.”
