London - Anti-gay bullying in the armed forces will not be tolerated, even before the ban on homosexuals joining the services is lifted, the British Defence Secretary, Mr Geoff Hoon, warned yesterday.

Work on lifting the ban was continuing in the Ministry, he said, adding: "Let me make it clear the armed forces already have a tough code of conduct as far as bullying and harassment is concerned."
