Proceeding contribution from Earl Attlee (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 am grateful for the Minister’s response to my amendments; however, I am not convinced by his response to my Amendments Nos. 102 and 103 regarding continuous service. I am grateful for the support given by the noble Lord, Lord Garden, to those. However, I am grateful for the Minister’s response to Amendment No. 104 and I better understand the Bill’s provisions. I agree with the noble Lord, Lord Garden—for example, in my own corps, it is possible to be promoted to sergeant in a technician trade fairly quickly although he may not have sufficient experience. I did not properly understand the Bill’s drafting, but I do now.
