Armed Forces Bill (Seventh sitting)
2026-04-16 · 17:30We are now blaming officials. If the original deadline for the DIP was October, and now the argument is that the delay is because so many problems have been identified, were the M…
Armed Forces Bill (Seventh sitting)
2026-04-16 · 17:23I rise to support new clause 16, tabled by my right hon. Friend the Member for Rayleigh and Wickford. In the last 10 years working in the defence space—in the civil service, with…
Armed Forces Bill (Seventh sitting)
2026-04-16 · 16:55The fact that other countries that we consider to be close allies are also considering this is an important point that I will come on to. In the aftermath of 9/11, the Government…
Armed Forces Bill (Seventh sitting)
2026-04-16 · 16:53I have spent my entire adult life serving my country, and I view being in this House as an extension of that service. For the hon. Member for North Durham even to hint that I am a…
Armed Forces Bill (Seventh sitting)
2026-04-16 · 16:53That is exactly what the hon. Member just said. I will go back in Hansard to check what he just said.
Armed Forces Bill (Seventh sitting)
2026-04-16 · 16:50I will speak in support of new clauses 13 and 15. My right hon. Friend has laid out quite a scary case study of what happens when international legal frameworks are used to affect…

2026-04-16 · 16:26I thank the Minister for his response. He has a great deal of experience in this area, and I know that there will be no one else in Parliament who is pushing for progress in it as…
Armed Forces Bill (Seventh sitting)
2026-04-16 · 16:03New clause 9 would provide a clear framework for an authorised person to approve the use of drones for routine testing, evaluation, training and capability development. The Commit…
Armed Forces Bill (Seventh sitting)
2026-04-16 · 15:56The hon. Member has a Royal Marines base and a large veteran community in his constituency. This has been an issue, and I want it to be quashed as quickly as possible. If Minister…
Armed Forces Bill (Seventh sitting)
2026-04-16 · 15:54I declare an interest: I am also a proud holder of a veterans railcard, as are many of my constituents. The new clause is modest in scope. It does not create new schemes. Both HM…
Armed Forces Bill (Sixth sitting)
2026-04-16 · 13:46To back up the shadow Minister’s point, I was an air cadet for a number of years—[Interruption.] I know he is laughing at that, but in my experience, it was not about recruitment…
Armed Forces Bill (Sixth sitting)
2026-04-16 · 13:24Given that my colleagues have very ably gone through amendments 21 to 24, I will just comment on amendment 20 before handing over to the Minister. Amendment 20 would increase the…
