Armed Forces Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Bellingham (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 November 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Armed Forces Bill.
I respect and admire the hon. Gentleman as a campaigner. He has been absolutely tenacious in this campaign and we all respect that, but if we disagree with some of the detail of the provision we are entitled to probe it, and if the amendment is passed, there will be closure on the issue. During the Boer war, there was the famous case of Breaker Morant, an Australian officer who was shot in extremely controversial circumstances. His family apparently want him to be given a pardon. Does the hon. Gentleman agree with that?
