answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 07/11/2016 answer text <p>We recently announced our intention for the UK to derogate from the relevant Articles of the European Convention on Human Rights (ECHR) in future conflicts, whenever the conditions for doing so are met. This will help protect our military personnel from ECHR-based legal claims, allowing them to take difficult decisions on the battlefield and enable us to spend more of our growing defence budget on equipment rather than lawyers’ fees. We will announce further measures in due course.</p><p><strong><br> </strong></p> answering member constituency Milton Keynes North answering member printed Mark Lancaster question first answered 07/11/2016 16:52:37 answering member 1544 label Biography information for Lord Lancaster of Kimbolton
