Proceeding contribution from Lord Astor of Hever (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
Although I accept that these amendments are probing, we support their thrust. We feel that service personnel should be guilty of a Clause 25 offence only if they knowingly waste or misapply service property. If they are ordered to do so, they should not be charged under this clause. If a serviceman or servicewoman is found guilty of this offence, it will stay on their record and may seriously affect their career.
