Armed Forces Bill

Proceeding contribution from Bob Stewart (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 8 February 2021. It occurred during Debate on bills on Armed Forces Bill.

I thank my good friend for giving way. He was a commanding officer, as I was, and will have sent people to courts martial when he did not really want to.

The Bill brings in the ability for commanding officers to give their men and women additional support when they have to send them to a court martial, and will mean they can involve themselves more in the court martial by saying, for example, “Please can this man or woman come back to my unit rather than be discharged from the service, because they are a good person?”.
