HMS INVINCIBLE

Early day motion 887, tabled 4 March 1998 by Mike Hancock (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 19 members.

That this House notes the valuable contribution made by the service personnel of HMS 'Invincible' during the Gulf crises; notes that the Captain and ship's company have served far beyond their normal tour of duty and missed their planned Christmas in the United Kingdom at short notice; and urges the Secretary of State for Defence to offer full recognition for the enduring work of the men and women of HMS 'Invincible' when they finally return to Portsmouth.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 12, Labour 4, Conservative 3.
