Armed Forces Bill

I hear what the hon. Gentleman is saying, and my colleagues have just whispered to me that such action is covered elsewhere in the Bill, under the misconduct clauses. We are talking here about the clause that is most applicable to people who consider that the war in Iraq was wrong and illegal. We are not talking about the circumstances that the hon. Gentleman has described in relation to those people. People leaving in the heat of battle are dealt with elsewhere in the Bill. So why does this provision need to include a life sentence?
