EDM number 665 in 2014-15, proposed by Dr William McCrea on 06/01/2015.
Categorised under the topics of Cultural heritage and Roads.

That this House welcomes the statement by the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport, the hon. Member for Devizes, that motorists in the UK will be allowed to display the Union Flag on their driving licences; supports her comments that 'people in this country rightly take pride in our national flag which is why I am delighted that it will now be displayed on British Driving Licences'; notes with disgust the reported decision by the Environment Minister in the Northern Ireland Assembly to discriminate against motorists in Northern Ireland by not permitting them, as citizens of the UK to have that same right; and calls on the Environment Minister in the Northern Ireland Assembly to reverse his decision forthwith.

This motion has been signed by a total of 9 MPs.
