Proceeding contribution from Marquess of Lothian (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 17 November 2005. It occurred during Debate and Adjournment debate on Defence in the United Kingdom.
Defence in the United Kingdom
The Secretary of State will note that my words today are largely not my own—they are the words of former Chiefs of the Defence Staff. Those men are speaking out in that way, because they realise that the general events surrounding those particular cases have created an environment, atmosphere and psychology in the armed forces that is unhelpful to their operations, and could be very damaging indeed in future. The right hon. Gentleman must understand that this is not rhetoric—this is a reality that is understood by the former Chiefs of the Defence Staff. I hope that he will take it on board and address it.
