You may recall the recent post on this and the fact it was reported that:
“…we did write to a local MP about this issue but, to date, have had no reply. One can only give the benefit of the doubt and assume that they were plugging away, behind the scenes, on behalf of their constituents, and that the reason we have had no reply is because the MP is so busy fighting our corner.”
Well, the benefit of the doubt was justified and that MP recently sent a copy of a letter from Derek Twigg MP, Minister of Veterans, to our Branch Chair – the illustrative jpeg.
The exciting thing about the letter, by a strict interpretation, is that part time term time working is now available, not only to ex-VA staff but, to all staff in the Agency – and we have the Minister’s letter to say so.
