Business question from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 14 October 2010. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
Can we have a debate in Government time on the appointment yesterday of the Prime Minister's new military assistant to clarify not only the role of the Chief of the Defence Staff, but, more importantly, the role of Her Majesty the Queen as head of the armed forces? Yesterday, the justification from No. 10 was that both President Sarkozy and President Obama have military advisers and therefore so should our Prime Minister, which does not recognise the fact that they are Heads of State, unlike him.
