Viscount Stansgate (Lab)

Speaking in the House of Lords on 8 September 2026

Debate

Armed Forces Bill

Contribution

My Lords, briefly, this is a very sensible amendment and I support it. In the world in which we now live, and with the way in which we communicate with one another, are there people in our Armed Forces already thinking ahead to different, more urgent ways of being in contact; for example, via WhatsApp? Email may not be the only way we can use modern technology to achieve the ends set out in Amendment 38.
