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 shall shortly lose the will to live. My hon. Friend keeps trying to move the goalposts. On whether occupation is illegal, I accept that there are differing views about Iraq. However, it was said earlier that UK troops are there under a UN mandate. If my hon. Friend wants to provide circumstances whereby people can pick and choose their interpretation of that UN mandate, he gives them a get-out-of-jail card and carte blanche to do what they want. That cannot happen in organised armed forces.
