Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) 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]

Those troops would have committed a criminal offence, subject to up to 14 years' imprisonment and/or a fine, as was mentioned earlier. It would be the police who investigated, and the usual HMRC procedures would be used to bring a prosecution, if that were possible.
