Proceeding contribution from Lord Campbell of Alloway (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 apologise for intervening, but we are coming to a crucial point. Does the noble Lord accept that, at times in action, it is virtually impossible to distinguish between rules of engagement and orders, and that you have to rely on a presumption of compliance, throwing the burden on the Crown to disprove and to show that there was intent not to comply? In other words, both have to be carried together. They cannot be separated.
