DISPLAY OF UNION FLAG ON DRIVING LICENCES

Early day motion 667, tabled 6 January 2015 by Elfyn Llwyd (Plaid Cymru). Signed by 3 members.

That this House notes the Government's proposal to include the Union flag on all new and renewed driving licences in Wales, Scotland and England; further notes that this proposal does not extend to Northern Ireland; further notes that the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport in making the announcement, referred explicitly to promoting the agenda of the unionist parties and believes that this explains its non-implementation in Northern Ireland; believes that this proposal, if implemented, would also cause controversy and division in Wales and Scotland; further notes that it is contrary to the respect agenda between the nations of the United Kingdom; further notes that it is a patently party political gesture; and calls for it to be withdrawn immediately.
