WELSH REGIMENTS

Early day motion 88, tabled 23 November 2004 by Bill Wiggin (Conservative). Signed by 47 members.

That this House sees no need to amalgamate or abolish any regiment, especially with regard to The Royal Welch Fusiliers and the Royal regiment of Wales; and believes that, if the two battalions are to merge, they should be permitted to use the battalion names Royal Welch Fusiliers and Royal Regiment of Wales before the new regimental name, which would be shown in brackets, in the same way as the Household Division does at the moment.

Signatures by party: Conservative 40, Labour 3, Independent 1, Independent Conservative 1, Liberal Democrat 1, Plaid Cymru 1.
