Debate

Armed Forces Commissioner Bill

Contribution

I have one slight question that came up in the speech from the noble Lord, Lord Beamish, and at Second Reading. The Armed Forces commissioner should not be a member of the Armed Forces or the Civil Service. Does that mean that they can never have been in the Armed Forces or Civil Service? That makes the field quite narrow. Assuming that that is not the case, what sort of job spec are we looking at and what sort of individual will the Secretary of State be looking for?
