Proceeding contribution from Tobias Ellwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 8 May 2008. It occurred during Debate on Defence in the World.
Defence in the World
The hon. Gentleman makes a powerful argument. Let me put to him a circumstance that arose recently. A civilian Iraqi was horribly injured in the spine and got £1 million compensation. I am not denying that that individual deserved that amount, but many soldiers in the UK are looking over their shoulders and seeing that payout, when the maximum payout for any injured personnel in the British Army is around £200,000. That seems wrong.
