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

Does the hon. Gentleman agree that it is not just about a level playing field but about, first, giving the accused protection in terms of knowing that the alleged crime is being investigated properly and that the evidence has been gathered; and secondly, that if the prosecution goes ahead it is based on the evidence that has been collected near to where the crime was committed, whereas, if the case had been dismissed and reinvestigated later on, things might have been lost?
