Proceeding contribution from Bob Russell (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Armed Forces Bill.


Armed Forces Bill

The House of Commons Library has produced an excellent research paper briefing, and I suggest that Ministers should take into account what it says. It observes that the Bill does not explicitly state what welfare provisions must be provided for under the military covenant, such as priority health care, or any minimum standards of care. Does my hon. Friend agree that that is the sort of detail that we will want in the Bill when we get it into Committee?
