Proceeding contribution from Lembit Opik (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 December 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Armed Forces Bill.


Armed Forces Bill

I do not want to start a major debate about Deepcut, but the Secretary of State will be aware that one of the findings in that case involved the question of mindset—the police had a questionable mindset in that they were willing to accept an explanation of suicide on relatively superficial evidence. Will the Secretary of State assure me that he intends the Bill to address the question of mindset? Will he ensure that an objective analysis is made of any accusations with regard to impropriety within, in particular, the training element of the armed forces?
