Proceeding contribution from Lord Touhig (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Armed Forces Bill.

Armed Forces Bill

In a debate in the Select Committee, I told the hon. Member for Aldershot (Mr. Howarth):"““Written guidance will set out the standard operating procedures under which the service police will be obliged to act””.—[Official Report, Select Committee on the Armed Forces Bill, 28 March 2006; c. 78.]" I sought to give the hon. Gentleman and his colleagues that assurance, and we did not feel that it was necessary to include it in the Bill. Guidance will be issued and it will set out the role of commanding officers and service police so that everyone is properly informed.
