Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Charles Irving (Conservative), on Wednesday, 23 January 1991, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 33 members in total.
TELEPHONE LINK FOR GULF TROOPS
That this House believes that British troops in the Gulf have a right to a free telephone call to relatives and loved ones; and calls for action by the Government, given the undeniable popular appeal, to enable a free call home for each of the 35,000 British troops, given that the cost would be negligible in comparison with the overall cost of operations, which could be phased over a period of time.
