FORMATION OF A NEW YORKSHIRE REGIMENT

Early day motion 1861, tabled 2 November 2004 by Chris McCafferty (Labour). Signed by 48 members.

That this House believes that, given the exemplary recruitment record of the Duke of Wellington's Regiment and the excellent record of the two other Yorkshire Regiments, the Prince of Wales's Own Yorkshire Regiment and the Green Howards, that a new Yorkshire Regiment of three regular battalions should be formed from these historic regiments.
