Proceeding contribution from Lord Watson of Wyre Forest (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 22 May 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Armed Forces Bill.
Armed Forces Bill
The hon. Gentleman and I will have to draw different conclusions from the conversations that we have had. That was not said to me when I was in the sergeants’ mess, and when I talked to the infantrymen to test out this issue they gave no impression that they felt inhibited. I asked the commander who conducted our forces in Basra whether he felt inhibited by the rules of engagement, and he said, ““No, not at all.”” So the hon. Gentleman and I have obviously had different conversations.
