Proceeding contribution from Lord Astor of Hever (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 also support this amendment, which, as my noble friend Lord Attlee said, he moved in Committee. It is absolutely right that records should be kept of any servicemen evacuated from operations as a result of injury or serious illness. The perceived lack of information in this area, whether justified or not, is not helpful either to the families of service men or women, or to public opinion. The argument that records are being collected anyway is not, in my view, strong enough to keep this provision out of the Bill.
