Proceeding contribution from Lord Bellingham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 22 November 2018. It occurred during Debate on Armed Forces Covenant.
Armed Forces Covenant
I have looked at the document very carefully, and I can find nothing in it about the veterans, particularly Northern Ireland veterans, who are now being arrested for historical offences that took place many years ago. Many such veterans have been arrested already and about 300 more are facing the prospect of a dawn raid. This is completely against natural justice, it is against the covenant and these brave veterans deserve the full support of my right hon. Friend’s Department.
