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, my worry is that, if the Government decide that, yes, we can have females serve in the infantry, the fitness and strength standards

for a combat infantryman would have to be lowered. That would mean that we lower the capability of the infantry—they would not be as fit and strong—in order to have a unisex standard.
