Tributes To Henry Allingham

EDM number 1144 in 2008-09, proposed by Norman Baker on 20/03/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Veterans.

That this House welcomes the decision of the French government to award the Legion d'Honneur, France's highest badge of courage, to Henry Allingham; expresses admiration for the way in which the 112 year-old has in recent years conducted himself with dignity and pride in reminding people in this country of the horrors of war and the sacrifice and courage shown by our servicemen and women; calls on the Government to honour Mr Allingham in a manner equivalent to that decided upon by the French government; and welcomes the campaign by the Brighton-based Argus newspaper to achieve this.

This motion has been signed by a total of 42 MPs.
