Proceeding contribution from Lord Redwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 23 March 2010. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Cluster Munitions (Prohibitions) Bill [Lords].


Cluster Munitions (Prohibitions) Bill [Lords]

We are rushing through these clauses, so it would be helpful if the Minister explained why so many of them relate to premises in the United Kingdom and what the position would be if the weapons were overseas. We have already discussed—briefly—the fact that many of the cases that might arise under the legislation could do so as a result of events that take place outside our country, but that relate to British nationals. What powers, if any, are there to establish the nature of the crime if it takes place outside the UK?
