British Overseas Territories And The Laying Of The Cenotaph Wreath

EDM number 566 in 2009-10, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 11/01/2010.
Categorised under the topics of Overseas territories and Veterans.

That this House acknowledges and takes pride in the annual tradition of laying a wreath at the Cenotaph in Whitehall on Remembrance Sunday in recognition of the contribution made by members of Her Majesty's armed services from each of the British Overseas Territories; believes that the sacrifices of all these brave men and women would be most appropriately acknowledged by granting representatives from Ascension Island, Anguilla, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Montserrat, Pitcairn Islands, St Helena, Tristan da Cunha, Turks and Caicos Islands, the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia, British Antarctic Territory, British Indian Ocean Territory, South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands the right to lay a wreath at the annual Service of Remembrance; questions the practice of the wreath being laid by a Minister from the Foreign and Commonwealth Office; and calls on the Government to rectify this anomaly for Remembrance Sunday 2010.

This motion has been signed by a total of 39 MPs.
