Proceeding contribution from Mike Hancock (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Armed Forces Bill.
Armed Forces Bill
The hon. Gentleman has mentioned our European partners. Those among our European partners who are transferring from a conscript army to a professional army are rewriting their military law, and the French, the Spanish and the Italians are all introducing legislation similar to the Armed Forces Bill. If he were to check, he would find that the penalty for desertion in the French army is a life sentence.
