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


Court Martial Judgment

My Lords, may I apologise for missing the Statement but perhaps I may ask a question based upon what the Judge Advocate General said? I am grateful. Did not the Judge Advocate General say of some witnesses who were some distance away from the scene, as reported by the BBC, that they,"““could not possibly have seen what they said they saw””?" Will the inquiry announced by the Minister investigate why that purely objective fact was not ascertained before the prosecution was launched?
