Armed Forces Bill

I am interested in the views of the hon. Gentleman, whose sound Nottinghamshire logic shines through. It is a few years since I was a member of the armed forces, but even in my day the commanding officer would have been extremely foolish if, after a schedule 2 offence, he did not immediately refer to his senior and then call in the Royal Military Police special investigations branch. I do not know of any instance, either in barracks or on operations, in which a commanding officer did not do so.
