Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Addington (Liberal Democrat). It was answered on Thursday, 28 October 2010.
Armed Forces: Refusal of Goods and Services
- Question
- My Lords, does my noble friend agree that if we are going to support people who are putting their lives on the line for our country, we should give them all the support we possibly can? Will he clarify to the House exactly what the legal status is if somebody is refused a service just because they are wearing the uniform of one of Her Majesty’s services?
- Answer
-
My Lords, legislation would not necessarily address the problem, but we encourage commanding officers to engage as much as possible with the local community to prevent the sort of incident that my noble friend mentioned.
