-
To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, if he will support the bid by Scarborough to host Armed Forces Day in 2019.
- Answer
-
Armed Forces Day provides an opportunity for the nation to show their support for the Armed Forces. Events are community-led and can come in many different forms, from the National Event through to local events organised by councils, ex-service organisations, community groups and schools. These events can be followed on Twitter using #SaluteOurForces.
The Department has received a number of bids to host the 2019 National Event, including from Scarborough Borough Council. Defence officials are now engaged in a selection process to determine which candidate location is best placed to bring together the whole nation in celebrating our Armed Forces in 2019.
