Pulse 1 & Ark Royal,
Just like the House of Commons any day of the week that a vote is due on some proposed leglislation. It does not mean that the MPs (particularly Ministers and their "Shadows"") who are not in the Chamber to listen to the full debate are lacking in zeal or neglecting their constituents interests; rather that they are devoting that time to the particular role that has been delegated to them by either the PM or their Party Leader.
Regarding the intentionally insulting reference to "Guthrie and his cronies" ; those distinguished Senior Officers who have been honoured with a Peerage would have little need to be lectured about Military Law and Boards of Inquiry by those who have never seen Military Service.
