Falkland Islands Battle Day (EDM450)

Falkland Islands Battle Day

EDM number 450 in 2006-07, proposed by Andrew Rosindell on 07/12/2006.

That this House joins the people of the Falkland Islands in marking Battle Day, commemorating those who lost their lives on 8th December 1914, in what was the second major naval engagement of the First World War, when a small British fleet destroyed the infamous German South Atlantic Squadron; notes that following the war 8th December became known as Battle Day and was established in the Falkland Islands as a national holiday, a day to be commemorated with reverence and an occasion to be enjoyed as a celebration of freedom and liberation; reaffirms the continued support of the people of the United Kingdom in maintaining the Islands as a self-governing British Overseas Territory; and looks forward to seeing the Union Flag continuing to fly over the Falkland Islands for evermore.

This motion has been signed by a total of 37 MPs.
