British Bill of Rights

Lord West of Spithead Excerpts

Wednesday 28th October 2015 Lords Chamber

[Lord Faulks]

This autumn.

[Lord West of Spithead (Lab)]

My Lords, will the Minister be able to address the issue of the Smith judgment, whereby officers such as myself, who fought to the best of our ability with the weapons we had at hand rather than going away and waiting until we had better weapons, would now be liable for the actions they took? Can this be addressed?
