Proceeding contribution from Earl Attlee (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 16 February 2006. It occurred during Parliamentary proceeding on Army: Advice of Attorney-General.
Army: Advice of Attorney-General
My Lords, the noble Lord is right when he talks about summary jurisdiction: there is an expression ““march in the guilty ‘baskette’””—or something similar—but a commanding officer would never opt for summary jurisdiction unless he believed that the solider was guilty, hence the expression.
