Proceeding contribution from David Lidington (Conservative) 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 his proposal for a joint departmental paper in time for Committee, my hon. Friend the Member for Mid-Norfolk (Mr. Simpson) was seeking to enable the House to understand the military's judgment on whether the loss of capability, which we all accept will happen, is of serious or relatively minor significance. How do we measure that loss of capability when it comes to making the judgment to take the moral standard that the Minister has described?
