The Corporate and Resources Committee of Kingston upon Thames Council decided on 24 September 2026 to approve recommendations regarding the Armed Forces Covenant. The committee resolved to write to the Minister for Veterans and People in support of the "Keep the Covenant Promise" campaign, call on the UK Government for improved statutory guidance and funding, and ask for a dedicated promotional campaign and thorough monitoring of the Covenant's impact. The council will also request effective means of redress where the Covenant Duty is not fulfilled and receive an update on Kingston's own delivery of the Armed Forces Covenant.
