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 entirely agree with the hon. Gentleman that it is not an exclusive club. It has to be an organisation that is entirely visible to the outside. However, this band of brothers is called upon to do extraordinary things, and I suggest that in those extraordinary circumstances it needs extraordinary powers.
