ARMY DECISION TO REMOVE UNION FLAG FROM SOLDIERS UNIFORMS

That this House notes with dismay the decision by the Commanding Officer of the British Army in Northern Ireland to remove the National Flag of the United Kingdom from the uniforms of soldiers returning from the war in Iraq and now serving in Northern Ireland; and calls upon the Government immediately to reverse this decision which has upset officers, and their families, who fought and in some cases died in Iraq while proudly wearing their nation's flag.
