Lord Beamish (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 19 March 2025

Debate

Armed Forces Commissioner Bill

Contribution

I am afraid I have to say to the Minister that I think that is very woolly. As a Minister who dealt with casualties—I am sure other Members who have served in the Ministry of Defence will be aware of this—I can say that the Armed Forces family is very complicated. At a sudden death or tragic event, various emotions come together and, unless that is defined, you will have difficulty.
