Proceeding contribution from Lord Elton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 6 January 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Cluster Munitions (Prohibitions) Bill [HL].


Cluster Munitions (Prohibitions) Bill [HL]

My Lords, I join the chorus of concern on this issue because the confidence of our own troops in our own law is absolutely essential. There needs to be an authoritative statement, possibly not in this Room but in the Chamber of the House, setting out the Attorney-General’s understanding of the meaning of this which can be taken as a guideline for our troops.
