Proceeding contribution from Lord Drayson (Labour) 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 do not believe it is helpful for us to continue the debate in this way this evening. I am prepared to meet the noble Lord to discuss this further and to write to him. It is clear that we need to have further discussion. I will read Hansard and fully reflect on what has been said this evening. I ask noble Lords, if they have the time, to reflect on what I have said this evening and to meet me. The noble Earl’s suggestion that we look at an out-of-date and no longer confidential set of rules of engagement is a very good idea which I think will help us to clarify some of these issues.
