Proceeding contribution from Earl Attlee (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 31 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Armed Forces Bill.


Armed Forces Bill

My Lords, I am still a bit disappointed. The Minister mentioned actual bodily harm. It is sensible to include that as an offence that could be dealt with summarily, for the simple reason that actual bodily harm need not be a very serious assault. It is a matter of some damage being done to the victim. The Minister said that the Bill was being carefully considered. I suspect it is rather more that the Royal Navy won this battle. I am grateful for the Minister’s response. I think he is wrong, but I will not return to my amendment. I beg leave to withdraw the amendment. Amendment, by leave, withdrawn. [Amendment No. 37 not moved.]
