Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Lord Richard (Labour). It was answered on Thursday, 28 October 2010.


Armed Forces: Refusal of Goods and Services

Question
My Lords, further to an answer that the noble Lord gave a few moments ago, is it suggested that the military covenant should now have legislative force? Should it become an Act? How does he see it in the future?
Answer

My Lords, we are looking at all kinds of options and hope to come forward with something either at the end of this year or early next year. We have not decided whether it will be part of the Armed Forces Bill, but we are looking at the issue.
