Andrew Bridgen calls for any violence or breach of discipline in the armed forces, whether perpetrated against male or female victims, to be dealt with expeditiously and seriously through military law.

Andrew Bridgen (North West Leicestershire) (Con)

Does the Minister agree that we train all our military personnel to be able to be extremely violent when the situation requires but we also train them to have the self-discipline to control that aggression and that any breach of that discipline, whether perpetrated against male or female victims, needs to be dealt with expeditiously and seriously through military law?

Leo Docherty (The Minister for Defence People and Veterans)

I absolutely agree with my hon. Friend, and this is all the more the case given that women occupy every role right across Defence, quite rightly.
