Welfare Of British Troops

EDM number 784 in 2002-03, proposed by David Heath on 26/02/2003.

That this House believes that men and women serving in the British Armed Forces and deployed to a theatre of war deserve the best available equipment and support; expresses deep concern at reports of inadequate provision not only through the media but directly from service personnel and their families; is particularly concerned at the lack of identification to avoid friendly fire; calls on the Ministry of Defence to address inadequate provision as a matter of urgency; and records its gratitude to and confidence in members of the armed forces, its continuing determination to ensure their welfare and its understanding of the legitimate concerns of their families.

This motion has been signed by a total of 29 MPs.
