Viscount Stansgate (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 23 July 2025

Debate

Armed Forces Commissioner Bill

Contribution

My Lords, I will be so brief that they will not have enough time to put my name on the annunciator. I welcome the agreement that has been reached and I think that this is a good example of the House improving what is an important Bill, which I hope will succeed in every respect. I pay tribute to all noble Lords, because I have been involved in that sense with the Bill since the beginning—I have an interest, which I have declared previously. It has been a very useful, good example of the House in action, and I particularly congratulate my noble friend the Minister, who has behaved in an exemplary way throughout the entire process. I am very pleased to see that the result that we have agreed will pass through and that the whistleblowing defence review will take place. I have failed: they have put my name on the annunciator.
