Armed Forces Bill

Proceeding contribution from Jim Murphy (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on Armed Forces Bill.
I cannot help the fact that the hon. Gentleman is confused; that is for him to resolve. The point is that, as part of the Boyce review, we are committed to increasing some of those payments. He calls it righteous indignation, and I do not know whether that is his attempt to justify the policy that his Government are implementing, but I do not think that it is righteous indignation to say that, if someone at this very moment serving in Afghanistan finds themselves in harm's way, their wife, at home with their children, should reasonably expect decent support.
