Debate

Armed Forces Commissioner Bill

Contribution

As a member of the Defence Committee, I had the opportunity to question the Service Complaints Ombudsman on a point that many members of the armed forces have raised with me since, around the independence of the current complaints process from the chain of command. Will the Minister provide clarification on how the commissioner will close that gap and the gaps that allow for abuses by commanding officers?
