Proceeding contribution from Lord Lyell of Markyate (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 support the noble and gallant Lord and the noble Lord, Lord Garden, in asking the Minister to take this away. If I may respectfully say so, the fact that the Minister refers to intent, negligence and recklessness as either being or not being essential parts of the clause—albeit that they are not written into it—indicates that a good deal of careful thought needs to be given to its drafting before we go much further. Obviously, we cannot do all that in Committee, but I urge the Minister to say that he will take it away and think about it very carefully.
