Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Jim McGovern (Labour), on Tuesday, 28 February 2006, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 21 members in total.


MANUFACTURE OF TARTAN FOR THE ARMED FORCES

That this House is deeply concerned about the Ministry of Defence's decision to remove the stipulation that the bulk purchase of tartan material required for the new super-regiment should be produced by traditional and quality methods; believes that value for money should not be simply about price but should also take note of quality; further believes that no decision should be made that jeopardises the quality of ceremonial kilts for the armed forces; congratulates the previous suppliers, Robert Noble, who have done a fantastic job supplying the armed forces for the last 150 years; and urges the Ministry of Defence to reverse its decision.
