ROYAL WELCH FUSILIERS

Early day motion 91, tabled 23 November 2004 by Bill Wiggin (Conservative). Signed by 43 members.

That this House recognises with gratitude the awesome history of the Royal Welch Fusiliers and that for the last 335 years they have remained unamalgamated; while winning 144 battle honours; congratulates them on their very successful tour in Iraq from which they have just returned; and urges the Government to think again before allowing this unrivalled record to be lost.

Signatures by party: Conservative 38, Labour 2, Independent Conservative 1, Liberal Democrat 1.
