NORMANDY LANDINGS ANNIVERSARY AND DISABLED VETERANS

Early day motion 535, tabled 14 April 1999 by Lord Wigley (Plaid Cymru). Signed by 38 members.

That this House expresses its very grave concern that veterans who have lost their sight have still not been granted any derogation by the Government to enable them to take their guide-dogs on a visit to the 55th anniversary of the Normandy landings in May and June of this year, with an assurance that their dogs can return with them without being held in quarantine, thus depriving the ex-servicemen of the support of their dogs when they return to the UK; and calls on the Government to take immediate action to find a resolution to this problem without further delay.

Signatures by party: Labour 23, Liberal Democrat 9, Conservative 3, Plaid Cymru 2, UUP 1.
