We now come to questions the Prime Minister.

I call Sajid Javid.

Question number one, Mr Speaker.

Mr Speaker, the ban on LGBT people serving in our military until the year 2000 was an appalling failure of the British state, decades behind the law of this land.

As today's report makes clear, in that period many endured the most horrific sexual abuse

and violence, homophobic bullying and harassment, all while bravely serving this country.

Today, on behalf of the British state, I apologize.

I hope all those affected will be able to feel proud parts of the veteran community

that has done so much to keep our country safe.

Mr. Speaker, this morning I had meetings with ministerial colleagues and others.

In addition to my duties in this House, I shall have further such meetings later today.

Sir Judeo.

Mr. Mr. Mr. Speaker, can I associate myself with the remarks that Prime Minister just made?

Mr. Speaker, in the UK, every 90 minutes, someone sadly takes their own life.

Indeed, in this country, for men under the age of 50 and for women under the age of 35, this is now the biggest killer.

When I was the Secretary of State for Health, I met many brave families and campaigners,

and I committed to them that the government would publish a comprehensive cross-departmental

suicide prevention strategy. That was over a year ago and still no strategy. Now I know that

my right honourable friend, the Prime Minister, cares as deeply about this issue as I do. We've

discussed it many times and can can I ask him, please,

if he would commit his government to publishing this strategy within days of Parliament's

return from the summer recess.
