Speaking in the House of Lords on 2 September 2026

Debate

Armed Forces Bill

Contribution

It can be quite confusing, particularly where service personnel and the person they have abused are moving into different areas. It may be that only one police force is notified and not another. All those factors can cause fairly major problems. Unfortunately, at the moment the Bill does not provide clarity on how victims will be protected should they or their perpetrators move between military and civilian jurisdictions. That is why we think it is really important to have all three of these amendments.
