Proceeding contribution from Lord Craig of Radley (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
moved Amendment No. 164: Page 167, line 7, leave out subsection (2). The noble and gallant Lord said: This is a probing amendment. Noble Lords may remember that I said at Second Reading: "““I am also wary of the catch-all provision, Clause 332(2), which could, it appears, give the Secretary of State unbridled power to bar types of complaints””.—[Official Report, 14/6/06; col. 269.]" The statutory redress system is a vital element of service disciplinary procedures. Is it right to give unconstrained authority to bar a redress application of any type? If it is trivial, it can be disposed of quickly. Why is this provision required?
