Search And Rescue Ribbon

EDM number 531 in 1998-99, proposed by Frank Cook on 14/04/1999.

That this House pays generous tribute to the men and women who form the Search and Rescue Service in our armed forces; applauds the dedication and commitment these men and women display in undergoing their intensively demanding programme of training that makes them so proficient in their calling; marks with admiration the many incidents reported from time to time when these young people put their lives in serious peril in order to save individuals who have found themselves in grave danger on land or at sea; notes with some astonishment and dismay that such personnel do not qualify for any formal service honour; and consequently appeals to the Prime Minister to institute an appropriate recognition for the continuing courageous service rendered of a level at least equal to the standard campaign ribbon.

This motion has been signed by a total of 22 MPs.
