Proceeding contribution from Lord Martin of Springburn (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 2 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Defence: Treaties with France.
Defence: Treaties with France
My Lords, I asked a question earlier and I ask it again. My concern is on the military chain of command. For example, every officer in command and all troops in the British Army give an oath of allegiance to Her Majesty the Queen. Given these new circumstances, can the Minister put information in the Library as to how this will work? There could be commanding officers who have not made that allegiance to Her Majesty. In this day and age, we have to protect our soldiers to ensure that they never face a court martial because they understood that they were entitled to reject an order from someone from another country.
