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


Armed Forces Bill

The pardon is not perfect, and there are matters—the hon. Member for Mid-Norfolk (Mr. Simpson) discussed them—that cannot be covered. There is no perfect solution to this problem, but if the hon. Member for Lancaster and Wyre (Mr. Wallace) felt that this was the wrong amendment, it was open to him and his colleagues to move a better one. We all want closure and a resolution to this issue, in the interests of those who suffered and of the families who still suffer.
