My Lords, the noble Lord said that I was suggesting that the court-martial system was deficient. Your Lordships might not take it from me, but you might take it from the unanimous decision of the European Court of Human Rights, pronounced a fortnight ago. It said that it was impossible to get a fair trial except in the most exceptional circumstances relating to civilians anywhere in the world. I am concerned about the current situation in the United Kingdom.
