Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 14 June 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Armed Forces Bill.
Armed Forces Bill
The right hon. Gentleman has rightly referred to drug and alcohol abuse, which is unfortunately prevalent among large numbers of those who have served in our armed forces and among some in the armed forces. Sometimes the solutions are not all state run, however. The most successful organisation in helping people with alcohol dependency is Alcoholics Anonymous and, sometimes, the state and the Ministry of Defence have been rather reluctant to involve voluntary organisations such as Alcoholics Anonymous in helping people out of their addiction.
