Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Jeremy Browne (Liberal Democrat), on Monday, 23 October 2006, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 32 members in total.


ARMISTICE DAY NATIONAL PUBLIC HOLIDAY

That this House believes that if the United Kingdom is to have an additional national public holiday, it should fall on 11th November, or if that is deemed to be impractical, the nearest Monday; that this would allow for greater reflection on the immense contribution made in conflict by successive generations to the continued freedom and prosperity of the United Kingdom and its allies; and that this national public holiday should be introduced to mark the death of the last British veteran from World War One, or alternatively, in 2008, the 90th anniversary of Armstice Day.
