Armed Forces Bill

Proceeding contribution from Douglas Chapman (Scottish National Party) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 15 October 2015. It occurred during Debate on bills on Armed Forces Bill.

If ever there was a Bill that underlined the need for a written constitution, this would probably be it. When a constituent asks me what I do when I am down here, I do not think they would be happy to hear that we spend valuable legislative time renewing a Bill that was first put before the House in 1688. That shows that this country’s relationship with its armed forces personnel is outdated. The Glorious Revolution brought us this tradition.
