Proceeding contribution from Lord Berkeley (Labour) in the House of Lords on Friday, 15 December 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Cluster Munitions (Prohibition) Bill [HL].
Cluster Munitions (Prohibition) Bill [HL]
My Lords, the noble Lord said that 98 per cent of the people killed by cluster bombs were civilians. Does that mean that killing about 50 civilians is worth it to save one member of the British armed services? That seems an interesting consequence of his statement.
