Proceeding contribution from Lord Ramsbotham (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 26 February 2009. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Armed Forces: Detention.
Armed Forces: Detention
My Lords, remembering the extraordinary care which we were required to take, when I was serving in places such as Northern Ireland, to record the numbers of people who were detained, I am appalled that there is a discrepancy as large as 1,000 between the numbers of people who have been detained and the figures released. Is there more to come? Will the Minister assure the House that we will not hear of charges that may follow against members of Her Majesty’s Armed Forces who have been involved in this detention process?
