BATTLE OF WATERLOO

Early day motion 217, tabled 30 June 2015 by Jim Shannon (DUP). Signed by 12 members.

That this House remembers the Battle of Waterloo two centuries ago this month; honours the 27th Inniskilling Fusiliers who were the antecedents of today's Royal Irish Regiment and who fought so bravely to defeat Napoleon at Waterloo; pays homage in particular to the Duke of Wellington, a native of Ireland as it was then; and reaffirms its pledge never to forget those who fell so gallantly for freedom and democracy and who paved the way for the UK's tremendous armed forces of today.

Signatures by party: DUP 5, Conservative 4, Labour 2, UUP 1.
