Women in the Armed Forces

Proceeding contribution from Tobias Ellwood (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 9 December 2021. It occurred during Backbench debate on Women in the Armed Forces.

The Minister is aware of the yellow card procedures and what happens in an operational environment, and he is absolutely right that conduct in those environments needs to be dealt with from a different perspective. The issue that we are trying to shed light on

is what happens here in the UK. It is not salami-slicing. As we have said, it is clear that there is expertise in the civilian courts, so let us shift those cases across to the civilian courts, which have the experience that military courts do not. Justice Ministers have called for this in the past, and we are doing so here today.
