Oral Answers to Questions

Crispin Blunt Excerpts

Monday 12th May 2014 Commons Chamber

[Mr Speaker]

[Crispin Blunt (Reigate)]

Our military are increasingly subject to a legal regime that is increasingly costly, both financially and operationally. Does my right hon. Friend agree with the Defence Committee’s recommendation that the next strategic defence and security review must examine the legal framework within which they operate and have less regard to human rights law and more regard to the law of armed conflict?
