Armed Forces Commissioner Bill

Debate between Baroness McIntosh of Hudnall and Baroness Goldie

Committee stage
Monday 24th March 2025 Grand Committee

[Baroness Goldie (Con)]

My Lords, again, this has been a short but very substantial debate. I thank the noble and gallant Lord, Lord Stirrup, and the noble Lord, Lord Russell, for their contributions—and, indeed, the Minister for his response. What is really encouraging is the unanimity of view that we can keep doing better. I am grateful to the Minister for his observations about the previous Government. From my engagement with him when he was the opposition spokesman on defence, I know how encouraging and supportive he was as we tried to bring forward much-needed change.

[The Deputy Chairman of Committees (Baroness McIntosh of Hudnall) (Lab)]

The Division Bells are ringing. Does the noble Baroness have much more that she intends to say? Would she prefer to return after the Division?

[Baroness Goldie (Con)]

It might be as well to adjourn for the Division.
