DISPLAY OF UNION FLAG ON DRIVING LICENCES
That this House notes the Government's proposal to include the Union flag on all new and renewed driving licences in Wales, Scotland and England; further notes that this proposal does not extend to Northern Ireland; further notes that the Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State for Transport in making the announcement, referred explicitly to promoting the agenda of the unionist parties and believes that this explains its non-implementation in Northern Ireland; believes that this proposal, if implemented, would also cause controversy and division in Wales and Scotland; further notes that it is contrary to the respect agenda between the nations of the United Kingdom; further notes that it is a patently party political gesture; and calls for it to be withdrawn immediately.
