Proceeding contribution from Lord Brennan of Canton (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 20 February 2017. It occurred during Debate on bill on Cultural Property (Armed Conflicts) Bill [Lords].


Cultural Property (Armed Conflicts) Bill [Lords]

It is certainly within the power of the Ministry of Defence to answer the question in terms of its own definitions. However, it cannot have been that hard, because the Minister for the Armed Forces subsequently changed his mind and wrote to me, telling

me that he could give me some information. It is always dangerous to intervene too early during the development of an argument. On 28 November, the Minister decided that he could provide some information, albeit not as precise as one might have desired.
