Proceeding contribution from Tobias Ellwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 10 November 2011. It occurred during Debate and Adjournment debate on Armed Forces Personnel.
Armed Forces Personnel
While preparing for the debate, I wondered whether the Opposition would raise the issue of the covenant. They had 13 years in which to introduce such legislation themselves. The hon. Gentleman mentioned the personnel paper and I concede that it was a good step forward, but it was not legislation. The fact that, after 13 years of Labour government, the covenant is now enshrined in legislation is thanks to our Government, not his.
