SUPPORT FOR THE ARMED FORCES

Early day motion 1642, tabled 22 March 2011 by Jim Shannon (DUP). Signed by 20 members.

That this House expresses its support for the armed forces as they enforce the no-fly zone over Libya; understands that this latest commitment will stretch the armed forces even further; and consequently calls on the Prime Minister to initiate a further assessment of the Strategic Defence and Security Review to ensure that the armed forces have enough funding and personnel to be able to meet all the UK's international obligations to the high standard expected of them.

Signatures by party: Labour 7, DUP 6, Conservative 4, Liberal Democrat 2, Independent 1.
