POPPY APPEAL

Early day motion 2873, tabled 30 October 2006 by Lindsay Hoyle (Labour). Signed by 96 members.

That this House notes the period of remembrance as 11th November approaches; recognises the sacrifice made by millions of people who have lost their lives, not only during the two world wars, but in other conflicts and peace-keeping operations across the world; pays tribute to the Royal British Legion through the Poppy Appeal, which acts as a poignant reminder of the loss of life suffered and helps raise much needed funds to allow the Legion to carry out its important work; and urges everyone to support the Poppy Appeal, which helps support veterans and their families in many different ways.

Signatures by party: Labour 49, Liberal Democrat 21, Conservative 18, DUP 4, Scottish National Party 2, Independent 1, Plaid Cymru 1.
