Armed Forces Bill

What we want to avoid is a repetition of the Trooper Williams case. We want to avoid the Attorney-General’s coming in and subjecting a soldier, sailor or airman to the civilian courts. Can we have some assurance that only in the most exceptional circumstances that would happen? I hear what the Minister says, but it is terribly important for it to be expressly stated—that once a case is heard in the military system, that is it. We need to be sure that the Attorney-General cannot then intervene and draw it into the civilian system.
