Proceeding contribution from Lord Bramall (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 12 October 2006. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HL) and Debate on bill on Armed Forces Bill.

Armed Forces Bill

Perhaps I may ask the noble Lord what the effect would be in practice if the procedure was the reverse of what he has just advocated. In other words, the court martial, which might have some ideas, would go to the judge advocate and say, ““We thought of a sentence on these lines. With all your knowledge and experience, what do you think about it?”” He would give his legal advice to the panel. It seems to me that you would come out with very much the same answer.
