Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 10 June 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee of the Whole House (HC) on Geneva Conventions and United Nations Personnel (Protocols) Bill [Lords].
Geneva Conventions and United Nations Personnel (Protocols) Bill [Lords]
No, there is not, and I do not think that that would be appropriate. There is no need to abandon the red cross or the red crescent, which are very well known and much respected symbols. However, there are circumstances in which a third or fourth emblem is necessary, or would be useful. There is no need, certainly in the short term, for us to move towards abandoning the red cross.
