Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 16 October 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Defence Policy.
Defence Policy
Under his wise leadership and chairmanship. The Committee produced a report on the Bill that became the Armed Forces (Pensions and Compensation) Act 2004. Although our report was quite critical of some of what the Ministry of Defence was doing, including cash limiting, we recognised that for the first time ever a Labour Government were introducing lump-sum payments for members of our armed forces. Not once during the process did Conservative Front-Benchers raise any objections.
