Armed Forces Bill

I have a great deal of sympathy with many of the issues that the hon. Gentleman takes up, but he has lost the plot on this one in relation to the crime that has been committed. Any service person leaving their post in this country in peace time would be dealt with in a particular way, but the example has been given of someone deserting in the heat of battle resulting in the death or endangerment of his comrades. Surely that must warrant the most severe sentence. Will the hon. Gentleman get off the fence and tell us what he thinks the sentence should be for that kind of action?
