Proceeding contribution from Lord Drayson (Labour) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 20 June 2007. It occurred during Debates on delegated legislation on Armed Forces, Army, Air Force and Naval Discipline Acts (Continuation) Order 2007.


Armed Forces, Army, Air Force and Naval Discipline Acts (Continuation) Order 2007

My Lords, my understanding is that the court administration officer would decide. It is difficult to provide prescriptive guidelines to the court administration officer but, as I have said, we believe that by working closely with the Military Court Service we will develop a set of indicators to provide help as to what would define ““very exceptional circumstances”” in a particular case. This is something which we need to monitor carefully.
