Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (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 am rather confused. Does the hon. Gentleman agree that there is a big difference between people who are forced to go to war as part of a conscription army and people who have taken it upon themselves to make a conscious decision to join Her Majesty’s armed forces? Those are two very different situations and it is a mistake to link them.
