DUKE OF WELLINGTON'S REGIMENT

Early day motion 1580, tabled 22 July 2004 by Chris McCafferty (Labour). Signed by 18 members.

That this House notes the 250 years of exemplary service by the Duke of Wellington's Regiment, during which time it has been one of the best recruited regiments in the British Army; recognises the dedication and valour of the men and women that serve in the Regiment; and calls on the Ministry of Defence to ensure that the Army Board enlarges the Duke of Wellington's Regiment to two or more battalions, in order to provide flexibility and meet the future needs of the modern Army.
