Proceeding contribution from Derek Twigg (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 November 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Armed Forces Bill.


Armed Forces Bill

My hon. Friend has made an important point. I know how much work she has put into her campaign on behalf of her constituents. The pardon covers all service men executed for offences such as desertion and cowardice committed between 4 August 1914 and 11 November 1918. Regrettably, we have not been able to list individually the names of those receiving the pardon, as our surviving records are not sufficiently comprehensive.
