Army Cadet Force
EDM number 375 in 2009-10, proposed by Angus Robertson on 07/12/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Armed forces.
That this House expresses concern at UK Government plans to cut the Army Cadet Force budget by £4 million; believes that the army cadets are the soldiers of tomorrow and these short-sighted cuts risk the future of an organisation which has given young people a taste of military discipline and leadership for nearly 150 years; notes the UK Government's turnaround on residency rights for the Gurkhas and planned cuts to the Territorial Army; and now calls for Ministers to abandon proposed cuts to the Army Cadet Force.
This motion has been signed by a total of 32 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
