Motion text

That this House believes that reading the names of the fallen at Prime Minister's Question Time honours the sacrifices made and brings some comfort to the bereaved; regrets the change in the practice on 28 June 2010 when the names of seven soldiers were included in a statement on the G20 conference; calls for such readings to be restored to the time of maximum House and media attendance in order that hon. Members can be reminded of the consequences of their decisions; and further calls for the consideration of an annual reading in the Chamber of the names of all those courageous soldiers who have died in conflict in the previous year.
