Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (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
I know that discussion of this issue can be a bit like ““Groundhog Day””, but when I was a Minister, I—under pressure from the right hon. Gentleman, who takes a great interest in this matter—had the Ministry of Justice's figures, going back to 1967 for the Royal Air Force, cross-referenced with service records and the figure came out at just over 3%. That is not to dispute the fact that there might be more of those individuals in certain prisons, but the facts were established independently and I do not know why certain people keep disputing them.
