Proceeding contribution from Harry Cohen (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Armed Forces Bill.
Armed Forces Bill
Indeed. That clause deals with misconduct on operations. We do not need the provision in clause 8 as well, as it will allow the legal authorities to cherry pick which sentence to apply. They will choose the harshest sentence if they want to. Clause 8(3) deals with the definitions of ““relevant service””, and includes"““actions or operations against an enemy””." But it is no longer clear-cut who the enemy is, as we no longer officially declare war.
