Armed Forces Bill

Proceeding contribution from Madeleine Moon (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 October 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Armed Forces Bill.

May I say how much I welcome my hon. Friend’s appointment? I totally agree about the need to probe the issue of extending British law to troops based and training here. The people of Cambridgeshire need a full explanation of why that was not possible. Whether it proves possible is moot. The important thing is that they know it is being fully explored. Will she also say something about the importance of opening up the ability of members of the armed forces to come forward when they have experienced rape and sexual assault, as often they are advised by people in the chain of command that it might damage their career to do so?
