Women in the Armed Forces

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

I thank the hon. Member for her intervention. It is conceivable that a case being tried in the courts martial may actually be a better outcome for the welfare needs of a victim, due to the constraints around career sustainability or location. Clearly, I am not saying that that is a given; I am saying that the civilian prosecutor should have the final say, but it is entirely conceivable that not having a case taken out of courts martial and into the civilian system may be a better outcome for the welfare interests of the victim.
