Proceeding contribution from Adam Ingram (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 13 June 2006. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Deepcut Review.


Deepcut Review

I hope I do not get the same admonition, Mr. Speaker. One of the aims that we seek to achieve with the new accommodation blocks is a better spirit of camaraderie. One of the failings of single living accommodation was that it allowed individuals, trained or untrained, to live in an isolated room of their own. We have therefore reconstructed our approach so that there is now a common area and more integration. We need trained personnel close to all of that, but—at the risk of contradicting my earlier comment that it would be wrong of a Minister to try and impose a solution—it would have to be with a light touch, not a heavy touch. It must be carefully managed so that people grow and are not dragged up. People should grow naturally with best example, not forced example.
