HC Deb 16 February 1995 vol 254 c826W
Mr. Galloway

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence if he will set up an inquiry into the courts martial system of justice.

Mr. Soames

No. The system of discipline in the armed forces, including courts martial, is provided for in the Service Discipline Acts approved by Parliament. The quinquennial Armed Forces Bills are an opportunity to review the Service Discipline Acts. The next such Bill is due to be introduced in the 1995–96 Session.
