Armed Forces Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Dannatt (Crossbench) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 2 November 2021. It occurred during Debate on bills and Committee proceeding on Armed Forces Bill.

I hope the noble Baroness will forgive me for interrupting. I much appreciate her point, but my point was not in this instance to do with interpreters. I am very grateful for the work of the Ministry of Defence in enabling many of our interpreters to come to this country, and more is still to be done. I was referring to members of the Afghan National Army who have found their way back to this country through the evacuation flights. As soldiers of another nation, they are going to be accorded better rights of residence in this country than foreign and Commonwealth soldiers who have served as members of the British Armed Forces.
