Proceeding contribution from Lord Lee of Trafford (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 17 July 2008. It occurred during Question for short debate on Armed Forces: Wounded Personnel.


Armed Forces: Wounded Personnel

That is a matter of some difficulty. The noble Earl refers to the final section of my speech, in which I acknowledged that there are some difficulties. There is no argument about that. But the arguments that I have put in favour of awarding a medal far outweigh some of those negative and more difficult points that we would have to deal with. I accept that that type of definition is a problem.
