Business question from Andrew Murrison (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 5 February 2009. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.

Business of the House

Will the Leader of the House clarify the statement that she made in December and again on 13 January that when a debate is on armed forces personnel, the title should be interpreted broadly? She will understand that one can no more debate soldiers, sailors and airmen without debating the kit that they use than one can debate teachers or nurses without debating schools or hospitals. Will she confirm that in future, in debates on armed forces personnel, we can debate the equipment that they use and on which they rely?
