Proceeding contribution from Bishop of Chester (Bishops (affiliation)) in the House of Lords on Monday, 16 May 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Armed Forces Covenant.
Armed Forces Covenant
My Lords, the language of ““covenant”” is interesting because it is both religious and legal in its history. Tying down what the covenant means is crucial. The language of the scope of the covenant is in the subjunctive: all these things ““should”” happen, not ““must”” or ““will”” happen. What independent monitoring of the working of the covenant is envisaged beyond reporting by a Minister to Parliament?
