SPORTING RECOGNITION FOR ARMED SERVICES

Early day motion 547, tabled 9 October 2013 by Gregory Campbell (DUP). Signed by 13 members.

That this House recognises the number of events held by a range of sporting organisations to respect and offer appreciation to the armed services; is deeply appreciative of the work that the UK's soldiers, sailors and airforce personnel do on an ongoing basis; and expresses the hope that, as Remembrance Day approaches, all sporting bodies and institutions will join the widespread and heartfelt acknowledgement that the freedom we currently enjoy, including the right to object and protest, is down to the efforts of those service personnel over many decades who have preserved that freedom.

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