Proceeding contribution from Thomas Docherty (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 hon. Gentleman has referred several times to under-18s having a right to leave. I had the privilege of serving on the Armed Forces Bill Select Committee and we took some evidence on this matter, and I am sure the hon. Gentleman would accept that they do currently have a right to leave, but that the length of notice is different from that which he proposes.
