Proceeding contribution from Lord West of Spithead (Labour) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 8 September 2011. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Baha Mousa Inquiry.


Baha Mousa Inquiry

My Lords, I apologise for not being here at the beginning of the Statement. It has been said that today is a sad day, but I have to say that I feel extremely proud of being in a nation that allows such an all-embracing report to be produced. I am extremely proud of being a member of the Armed Forces of this nation where the vast majority of them perform amazingly and with all the constraints that they should in very difficult circumstances. Does the Minister agree that I should feel that way?
