Proceeding contribution from Lord Watson of Wyre Forest (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 21 June 2010. It occurred during Debate on Strategic Defence and Security Review.


Strategic Defence and Security Review

I am delighted to see the Minister in his post. Will he clarify the position on the mental health screening of personnel? His junior, the Under-Secretary of State for Defence, the hon. Member for South Leicestershire (Mr Robathan)—a demoted former shadow Deputy Chief Whip—made a Horlicks of it on Radio 4, and we do not know whether the Government are in favour of mental health screening or not. What is the position? Can the Minister put his junior right, please?
