Proceeding contribution from Earl Attlee (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 11 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HL) on Armed Forces Bill.

Armed Forces Bill

I remind the Committee of my interest as a serving officer in the TA, subject to military law as I speak. I have tabled Amendment No. 38 in this group. Clearly, it is vital to our democracy that Ministers are honestly and accurately briefed by the military. Noble friends in this House have been led astray because of inaccurate briefing from the military and have had to apologise to the House at the Dispatch Box. My amendment would ensure that a specific offence is committed if Ministers are inaccurately briefed in the way that it describes.
