Remembrance Sunday And British Overseas Territories And Crown Dependencies

EDM number 447 in 2014-15, proposed by Andrew Rosindell on 30/10/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Armed forces, Overseas territories and Veterans.

That this House recognises the enormous contribution by members of HM Armed Services from each of the British Overseas Territories and Crown Dependencies in wars and conflicts over the centuries, fighting for Queen, King and country and especially this year in the 100th Anniversary of the First World War; remembers the contribution they made between 1914 and 1918; believes that the sacrifices of all these brave men and women should now be fully acknowledged in the same way as members of the Commonwealth of Nations, by inviting representatives from the Overseas Territories of Ascension Island, Anguilla, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, Montserrat, Pitcairn Islands, St Helena, Tristan da Cunha, Turks and Caicos Islands, the Sovereign Base Areas of Akrotiri and Dhekelia, British Antarctic Territory, British Indian Ocean Territory, South Georgia and South Sandwich Islands and the Crown Dependencies of Jersey, Guernsey, Alderney, Sark and the Isle of Man to lay a wreath in their own right at the annual Service of Remembrance at the Cenotaph each year on Remembrance Sunday; and calls on the Government to ensure that the appropriate arrangements for this to happen are in place in time for Remembrance Sunday on 9 November 2014.

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