Proceeding contribution from Andrew Murrison (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 2 June 2026. It occurred during Committee of the Whole House (HC) and Debate on bill on Armed Forces Bill.
Armed Forces Bill
The question is surely whether victims are given a choice. At the moment, they are. The prosecutors’ protocol usually means that these cases are tried through the civilian criminal justice system. That is fine, but does the hon. Gentleman acknowledge that justice delayed is justice denied? Through the service justice system, these cases are brought to a conclusion far more rapidly than they currently are in our civilian criminal justice system.
