Proceeding contribution from Lord Harper (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 3 May 2006. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Army Barracks (Deaths).


Army Barracks (Deaths)

: If the hon. Lady will forgive me, I shall not, in order to allow the Minister time to respond. The Blake report into Deepcut should not be the end of the process. The end should be the Government's thorough implementation of the appropriate recommendations. A constant theme throughout the process has been the significant number of reports, and the Surrey police report stated that"β€œβ€œthe army has consistently identified issues of concern, but practical implementation of risk reduction measures has often not followed.””" The finest tribute we can pay to those who have died is to ensure that the correct measures are put in place and action taken. We need to put in place systems that will address those problems, so that we never again have to debate the deaths of some very fine young people within our Army training establishments.
