Proceeding contribution from Lord Watson of Wyre Forest (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Armed Forces Bill.


Armed Forces Bill

I thank my hon. Friend for making my first day at the office so welcoming. I should remind him that this will be decided by a legal process, not by the Ministry of Defence or Ministers. The Bill sets out the parameters. It is not a mandatory life sentence, but a maximum life sentence, and the sentence meted out will be in relation to the crime committed.
