Armed Forces Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Beamish (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 10 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bills on Armed Forces Bill.
I cannot accept what the hon. Gentleman is saying. It is not helpful to rubbish the most thorough report on the facts of the matter. I have met Mr Fletcher on a number of occasions and know that he is a great self-publicist. He came up with the figure of 10% of the prison population being ex-armed forces, or at one time even 15%, on no evidence at all. That was not very helpful as part of the debate into which the hon. Gentleman has rightly put a lot of hard work.
