Proceeding contribution from Bob Stewart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Armed Forces Bill.
Armed Forces Bill
As a past commanding officer, I think that it is an extremely good thing that more power be given back to commanding officers, including discretionary power. I think particularly of warrant officers who offend. It has been mandatory to reduce such officers to the ranks, but if they have done 20 years in the armed forces, that will have a deep effect on their pensions, for example. Therefore, this is a good change to the Armed Forces Act 2006 and I congratulate the Secretary of State on introducing it.
