Proceeding contribution from Lord Newton of Braintree (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 4 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Armed Forces Bill.


Armed Forces Bill

Would the Minister consider a very brief question as being in order at this stage? I note what he says about the Localism Bill and will reflect on it. However, is he aware that the Parliamentary Ombudsman cannot consider complaints from servicemen or families because the ombudsman is subject to what is called the MP filter? He or she will take references only from an MP.
