The Committee was tasked by the House of Commons to scrutinise the Bill (Bill 22, session 2010-11, ISBN 9780215557469) which makes various changes to existing Military law. The Committee has taken evidence from a range of witnesses and made several visits to military establishments around the UK. The Report notes the complex debate surrounding the Military Covenant, and outlines the Committee's findings on a range of matters, including the work of the Service Complaints Commissioner for the Armed Forces.
The Committee's report examines the consitutional implications of the Armed Forces Bill which contains proposals to replace the current system of military law with a single tri-Service system for military discipline to provide a uniform criminal justice system across the three armed forces. Issues considered include whether there is a need for the creation of an armed forces ombudsman, as was recommended by the Deepcut Review report (HCP 795, session 2005-06, ISBN 0102937079).
