February 14, 2007 3:35 PM

Liberal Democrat MP for Bristol West, Stephen Williams, is calling on all those who served in the British armed forces before 1970 to claim their veterans badge.

Groups eligible for the new badge are:

• Merchant Navy Seamen, Home Guard, Polish Forces under UK Command and members of the Cyprus Regiment during the Second World War.

• War widows or widowers who receive a War Widows/Widowers Pension.

• Veterans of the Suez Canal Zone 1951-54.

• Anyone who served in the Armed Forces up to 31st December 1969.

Stephen Williams said "We owe our war veterans a huge debt for defending our country and keeping it safe from invading armies and dangerous ideologies. I hope all those entitled will claim this badge so that others can recognise the sacrifice they made."

    If you are a resident of the Bristol West constituency and are writing to discuss any issue that Parliament or government is responsible for, you must provide your home address as MPs are generally only permitted to act on behalf of constituents.

    If you are not a constituent, you do not need to provide your address, but the matters we can deal with are more limited and you may wish to contact your local MP in the first instance.
