Armed Forces Bill

My hon. Friend spoke a moment ago about going over old ground. May I ask him to cover some new ground? He will be studying the review by Nicholas Blake QC of the events at Deepcut. A key recommendation from Nicholas Blake is the establishment of an armed forces ombudsman. Perhaps as the debate on the Bill continues in another place, my hon. Friend will consider that important recommendation to make sure that the Bill deals with all the concerns that people have about the armed forces.
