Armed Forces Bill

Proceeding contribution from Patrick Mercer (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 November 2006. It occurred during Debate on bills on Armed Forces Bill.
Does my hon. Friend agree that the hon. Member for North Durham (Mr. Jones) has not quite put his finger on the point, and that he should look with a little more historical accuracy at the sort of men who, certainly by late 1915, were being commissioned and were taking the brunt of the infantry platoon commander’s battle? Many of them came from working-class backgrounds, as he might define them.
