Proceeding contribution from Lord Drayson (Labour) in the House of Lords on Monday, 7 November 2005. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Court Martial Judgment.


Court Martial Judgment

My Lords, the military justice system does not have jurisdiction over Iraqi citizens so I presume that the witnesses have returned, or will be returning, to Iraq. Further more I cannot comment. As regards the bringing forward of the evidence of those witnesses, the process applied mirrored the principles and procedures used within the civilian courts. My understanding is that that was the guidance and basis upon which the witnesses were brought forward in this case.
