Categorised under the topic of Falkland Islands.

That this House joins the people of the Falkland Islands in marking Battle Day, commemorating those who lost their lives on 8 December 1914, in what was the second major naval engagement of the First World War, when a small British fleet destroyed the infamous German South Atlantic Squadron; notes that, following the war, 8 December became known as Battle Day and was established in the Falkland Islands as a national holiday, a day to be commemorated with reverence, and an occasion to be enjoyed as a celebration of freedom and liberation; reaffirms the continued support of the people of the United Kingdom in maintaining the Islands as a self-governing British Overseas Territory; and looks forward to seeing the Union Flag continuing to fly over the Falkland Islands for evermore.

This motion has been signed by a total of 27 MPs.
