That this House notes that over a large number of years Professor Southall has performed risky, interventionist, non-therapeutic, experiments on babies and young children that have been demonstrated to have caused medical difficulties for some of the babies and young children; further notes that project E5 involved over sedating babies,...

Has the Minister considered the use of the words, ““or without lawful excuse””? That might meet the point raised by the noble Viscount, Lord Slim.

It seems to me that several noble Lords have made vital points. Whether or not one agrees with the sentiments of the noble Lord, Lord Garden, clarification is needed. In the Minister's first answer, which I presume was according to his brief, the words ““recklessly or negligently”” appeared several times....

I support the noble and gallant Lord and the noble Lord, Lord Garden, in asking the Minister to take this away. If I may respectfully say so, the fact that the Minister refers to intent, negligence and recklessness as either being or not being essential parts of the clause—albeit that...

moved Amendment No. 52: Page 11, line 26, after ““he”” insert ““knowingly”” The noble Lord said: I rise to speak to Amendments Nos. 52 and 53, which are amendments to Clause 25. I assume that the Minister is very much in favour of this clause as we have seen, by...

I am grateful to the noble Lord for that clarification. He makes a very good point. I will go away and study exactly what he has said in the context of what really takes place and make sure that this clause as drafted properly reflects that.

I am of course aware that a number of orders and regulations will be locally provided. My point is beyond that. A specific height will be written into the authorisation sheet for every flight operating below normal operating heights, and it cannot go below that height. It is slightly curious...

I recognise the concern raised by the noble Lord, Lord Garden. He is right. In addition to the low-flying restrictions in place under Defence Council regulations, further restrictions are sometimes imposed. Nevertheless, although we are mindful of the situation, we believe that this amendment is unnecessary. Specific flight restrictions through...

I, too, support the amendment. I just want to make it clear that the clause, as I read it, refers to peacetime flying and training flying. I am not absolutely clear whether there is any likelihood of such an offence being brought against someone who is flying not only in...

This is a sensible amendment, which we support. As the noble Lord and my noble friend said, operations differ and our crews should not be penalised where there is an authorised need for low flying.

I am grateful to the noble Lord, Lord Garden, for making a point about the authorised height, because it occurs to me that from time to time on separate operations, individual flights, individual days and individual periods of flying that the regulations or the limit—if I may call it that—on...

moved Amendment No. 58: Page 15, line 25, at end insert ““and authorised for the specific flight”” The noble Lord said: My amendment deals with Clause 34 on low flying, and in particular with the definition of ““minimum height””, below which an offence is committed. In subsection (3), the minimum...

Since the 18th century our law has given courts martial jurisdiction over civilian dependants and employees but, until the Army Act 1955, this applied only if our troops were on active service. Military law was extended in 1955 to cover civilians in peace time accompanying soldiers in other countries, to...

The case made by the noble Lord, Lord Thomas of Gresford, as reinforced just now by the noble Lord, Lord Borrie, is enormously powerful. I look at this primarily from the point of view of sharing what the Minister has just said about the importance of providing and maintaining a...

Does the Minister accept that reporting on the conduct of junior officers at courts martial is now absolutely forbidden? Does he further accept that the Bill abolishes the reviewing authority? Those were two points in Morris where the European court said that the court-martial system was not compliant.

Your Lordships now know that, from the 16th and 17th century, exceptions for the serious offences of treason, murder, manslaughter and rape have been made, and that courts martial for those offences committed in this country have never taken place. Have your Lordships heard this afternoon any justification for changing...
