Proceeding contribution from Lord Goldsmith (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 am obliged to the noble Earl. It counts as an acquittal and the rules for what we call ““autre fois acquit”” would apply. Having said that, I do not rule out that the director of service prosecutions might consult the Attorney-General of the day as to whether he should make the direction. As long as that is clear, I can answer the question in the way that I have done.
