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


Armed Forces Bill

Does the hon. Gentleman not agree with me that, as was said by the hon. Member for Mid-Norfolk (Mr. Simpson) in his eloquent speech, officers who were exposed to shell shock were sent home, whereas privates from working-class communities such as mine were sent before the firing squad?
