Proceeding contribution from Pete Wishart (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 December 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Armed Forces Bill.
Armed Forces Bill
I thank the Secretary of State for giving way again on this important issue. Will he describe in a little more detail what he means by independence in relation to the complaints commission? There is an expectation among not only the families but the general public that there should be the fullest possible public scrutiny of public bodies, so does the Secretary of State accept that the best way to resolve the issue would be through an independent military ombudsman? The public would then be satisfied that the complaints are dealt with properly.
