Proceeding contribution from Viscount Slim (Crossbench) 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 am not too clear on this point. What happens if on operations—say there is an ambush or something—a vehicle convoy is going along and everyone has to take to their feet to get into the hills, but before doing so they destroy the vehicles so that the enemy cannot have them? Does that involve ““knowingly”” wasting? I am not sure how this firms up operationally. A lot of people destroy things on operations so that the enemy cannot have them.
