There are currently 45 veterans and Reservists sitting as MP’s in Westminster.

Approximately 7% of the House of Commons is made of of ex-personnel.

While the Conservatives boast the largest military presence, both Labour and Northern Ireland’s Democratic Unionist Party also have representation on the opposition benches.
