Proceeding contribution from Lord Inge (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, too, support the inclusion of the rules of engagement. Perhaps I may sound one word of caution: the Bill refers to the Defence Council agreeing those rules of engagement. In my six years of experience in London, I think that the Defence Council met twice. If this is to be in the Bill, there must be a system that allows the rules of engagement to be amended quickly if the hostilities on the ground change one way or the other.
