Proceeding contribution from Lord Strathclyde (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 15 June 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on The Saville Inquiry.


The Saville Inquiry

My Lords, that is a matter for the prosecuting authorities and not for politicians, but if any soldiers are accused of these crimes they will of course be supported by the Ministry of Defence, who will provide them with the legal advice that they need so that they can defend themselves properly. It is right that these decisions are made by the prosecuting authorities rather than by us.
