GORDON Prentice will attend the parliamentary open day for the Royal British Legion on Tuesday.

The Pendle MP said: "This is an opportunity to meet senior volunteers and staff to discuss with them aspects of their work.

"The legion does invaluable work in helping ex-service people and their families and I welcome this opportunity to meet and talk to the people on the frontline.

"The legion are at the forefront in campaigning for the rights of ex-service people and their dependants. Only a couple of years ago their campaign on behalf of former British Far East prisoners of war and their dependants delivered the payment of special gratuities of £10,000."
