Armed Forces Bill

I am grateful for that. So the time limits are all covered, which is what I wanted to know, and I am more than happy with that. On Amendment No. 82, I remain surprised that the word approximate is used, but if that is how legislation is done, so be it. On the question of the cut-off for 17 or 18 year-olds, I am afraid that I remain concerned that the Ministry of Defence does not seem to have taken to heart the recommendations of the Blake review into Deepcut. Military life is not the same as civilian life; there is a special duty of care in the military to those who are under 18. I shall come back to it under later amendments in the Bill, in a more serious way. But I shall read what the Minister has said in Hansard. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment.
