Proceeding contribution from Andrew Pelling (Independent (affiliation)) in the House of Commons on Monday, 1 March 2010. It occurred during Opposition day on Defence.

Obviously, extra equipment improves morale, but could morale also be improved if Ministers attended when fallen heroes return to this country?
