Manufacture Of Tartan For The Armed Forces (EDM1713)

Manufacture Of Tartan For The Armed Forces

EDM number 1713 in 2005-06, proposed by Jim McGovern on 28/02/2006.

That this House is deeply concerned about the Ministry of Defence's decision to remove the stipulation that the bulk purchase of tartan material required for the new super-regiment should be produced by traditional and quality methods; believes that value for money should not be simply about price but should also take note of quality; further believes that no decision should be made that jeopardises the quality of ceremonial kilts for the armed forces; congratulates the previous suppliers, Robert Noble, who have done a fantastic job supplying the armed forces for the last 150 years; and urges the Ministry of Defence to reverse its decision.

This motion has been signed by a total of 21 MPs.
