Hold a statutory public inquiry into historical abuse of LGBT service personnel

Closed 101 signatures

What the petition asks

The Independent Review into the experiences of LGBT service personnel serving between 1967 and 2000 quoted many LGBT veterans saying they had experienced abuse. We believe a public inquiry is needed, to address public concern regarding this.
This public inquiry could compel testimony and the release of documents.
