Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 17 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill on Cluster Munitions (Prohibitions) Bill (HL) 2009-10.


Cluster Munitions (Prohibitions) Bill [Lords]

In fact, the US has been reviewing its position and it has decided that it will remove its stockpile from the UK by 2013, so there will be no American cluster munitions based here. The hon. Member for Bournemouth, East referred to the hon. Member for North-East Milton Keynes as gallant. I am sure that he is, but I think that, under the conventions of the House, it is only generals who are referred to as gallant.
