CROWN DEPENDENCIES AND REMEMBRANCE SUNDAY

Early day motion 623, tabled 28 January 2009 by Andrew Rosindell (Conservative). Signed by 28 members.

That this House recognises the enormous contribution by members of Her Majesty's Armed Services from each of the Crown Dependencies in wars and conflicts during the past 90 years, fighting for Queen, or King and country; believes that the sacrifices of all these brave men and women should be fully acknowledged in a similar way to members of the Commonwealth of Nations, by granting representatives from the Isle of Man, Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney and Sark the right to lay a wreath in their own right at the annual Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph in Whitehall, each year on Remembrance Sunday; and calls upon the Government to ensure that all the appropriate arrangements for this to happen are correctly in place in time for Remembrance Sunday to be held on 8th November 2009.

Signatures by party: Labour 12, Conservative 9, Liberal Democrat 4, DUP 2, Scottish National Party 1.
