Proceeding contribution from Lord Boyce (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Monday, 6 November 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Armed Forces Bill.


Armed Forces Bill

My Lords, at the outset of the Bill, my head told me that it was the right thing for us to be doing, but my heart was not too sure. Over the process, however, I have been convinced that we have a good Bill. I am grateful to the noble Lord, Lord Drayson, and his team, who have guided and helped us and been so accommodating with various ideas. The nature of the debate that we have had, off-site if you like, has helped us to get a Bill that I believe the Armed Forces will welcome.
