Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 29 January 2009. It occurred during Debate on Armed Forces Personnel.


Armed Forces Personnel

On the burden of proof issue, I was on the Committee that considered the Armed Forces (Pensions and Compensation) Bill, along with the hon. Member for Aldershot (Mr. Howarth). The issue was raised on numerous occasions at the time. What I was saying, and what the Department continues to say, is: bring forward examples where people have lost out because of the burden of proof issue. There has been none so far. On individual cases and time limits, of course they are always looked at on an individual basis.
