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 will put the same question to the hon. Gentleman as I put to my hon. Friend the Member for Leyton and Wanstead (Harry Cohen) earlier. If we were in an unusual situation and the hon. Gentleman became the Defence Minister of either Scotland or the UK, what would he do if this Parliament, or any other Parliament in which he was a representative at that time, decided to take military action? Is he seriously suggesting that individual officers and men would be able to opt out of that democratic decision?
