ARMISTICE DAY NATIONAL PUBLIC HOLIDAY

Early day motion 2828, tabled 23 October 2006 by Jeremy Browne (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 32 members.

That this House believes that if the United Kingdom is to have an additional national public holiday, it should fall on 11th November, or if that is deemed to be impractical, the nearest Monday; that this would allow for greater reflection on the immense contribution made in conflict by successive generations to the continued freedom and prosperity of the United Kingdom and its allies; and that this national public holiday should be introduced to mark the death of the last British veteran from World War One, or alternatively, in 2008, the 90th anniversary of Armstice Day.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 14, Labour 9, Conservative 6, DUP 3.
