Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 December 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Armed Forces Bill.


Armed Forces Bill

I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for giving way, not least because I have not been present for the whole debate, for which I apologise. The hon. Gentleman said that servicemen and women operate in different circumstances. Today, in marked contrast to 30 or 40 years ago, those circumstances include the fact that they nearly always work alongside nationals of other countries and with armed forces of other nationalities. Sometimes, when there is a difference in perception of the disciplinary structure and systems of different nationalities, it may cause distress and further complications. How does he believe that we can reconcile that?
