Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Liam Fox (Conservative), on Thursday, 13 March 2008, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 43 members in total.


UNIFORM IN PUBLIC PLACES

That this House supports the encouragement of service personnel of all ranks in the wearing of uniform in public places; is saddened by the lack of respect shown by individuals and organisations that discriminate against personnel wearing uniform prescribed in uniform regulations; believes there should be no `no go' areas in the United Kingdom for people in uniform; considers nevertheless that commanding officers should set local policy based on a balanced risk assessment; is appalled by the behaviour of those who offer verbal or physical abuse to service personnel; and urges the police to be robust in dealing with criminal acts against those that wear the uniform of Her Majesty's Armed Forces.
