Part of Orders of the Day — Armed Forces (Re-committed) Bill – in the House of Commons am 5:15 pm ar 17 Mehefin 1991.
I am grateful to the hon. Gentleman for his remarks. It is certainly the case that we are trying to tie in armed forces legislation with that which applies in civilian life. The House has already legislated in respect of offences committed by young people, and we are attempting to bring the sentencing provisions in the armed forces more into line with that.
