Armed Forces Bill

Proceeding contribution from Earl Attlee (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Thursday, 3 March 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Armed Forces Bill.

My Lords, the noble and learned Lord, Lord Hope, talked about training fatalities. My view is that all training fatalities, wherever they arise, should be subject to an inquest. I think there is a far bigger problem with training accidents than with operational fatalities. Those occur where the enemy has a better position on you and sadly some servicemen are unlucky, but with a training accident, it is quite likely that something has gone wrong.
