:00:14.:00:17.

get the Government to pay for the funerals of ex`service personnel who

Lincolnshire is asking the Government to change that. Jessica

Macleans' campaign. You can't re`do a funeral. It is like a birth and a

:00:39.:00:42.

wedding, you can only do it once. A funeral for a service man or woman

:00:43.:00:46.

has to be dignified, has bedn recognised. We cannot send them out

to war and expect them to come back and then forget them. The c`mpaign

started last November, when Sue rescued a man called Michael Clarke

from a council burial after a friend of his raised concern about the

brotherhood. As All the different forces ` Army, Navy, and Air Force.

We all appreciate what we h`ve all done. They have served their country

:01:14.:01:17.

and they should be treated better than that. They shouldn't h`ve a

:01:18.:01:21.

pauper's grave. They should have a proper service like everyond else

:01:22.:01:25.

who can afford it. We have to make sure that as far as possibld medical

:01:26.:01:29.

records flag that it is a vdteran. If that is done all the agencies can

:01:30.:01:33.

kick in and make sure that that person is given a dignified

:01:34.:01:37.

send`off. The government saxs there should be consideration when someone

:01:38.:01:40.

who has served their countrx dies, but this it is up to the local

:01:41.:01:44.

councils to provide a funer`l if they cannot afford to pay or if

:01:45.:01:49.

there are no family left. As a result of the campaign, the North

:01:50.:01:52.

Lincolnshire council has put aside ?10,000 to help pay for the

:01:53.:01:56.

funerals. Sue says that that is very generous, but as each funer`l can

:01:57.:02:05.

cost ?2500 it will not pay for many. Sue says that she wants things to

:02:06.:02:08.

change, so she will take her campaign to Downing Street this
