Proceeding contribution from Andrew Murrison (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 16 July 2020. It occurred during Urgent question on British Overseas Troops: Civil Liability Claims.

British Overseas Troops: Civil Liability Claims

I welcome the spirit of the Bill. To congratulate the Minister, I will send him a copy of my book, “Tommy This an’ Tommy That: The military covenant”. He has done well to bring it thus far, but it is tipped to be heavily amended as it progresses through this place, not least because of Judge Jeff Blackett’s remarks. I press the Minister to look again at part 2, because it seems to me that the “no disadvantage” enjoinder within the military covenant is in danger of being overlooked. I know that he would not want to see that.
