Proceeding contribution from Patrick Mercer (Conservative) 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 afraid that the hon. Gentleman has not quite understood me. What I am saying is that in a high tempo operation, where things go wrong, and they will, the commanding officer must be able to carry out an investigation, take the advice that is to hand and deal with the matter as it faces him. If he does not, it will be very difficult for the private soldier under his command to continue to trust him.
