Opposition Day — [11th Allotted Day] — Military Covenant — 16 Feb 2011 at 18:49
I beg to move,
That this House supports establishing in law the definition of the Military Covenant, in so doing fulfilling the Prime Minister's pledge of 25 June 2010 to have 'a new Military Covenant that's written into the law of the land'; believes that this commitment should not be diluted or sidestepped; and further supports service charities' and families' calls for a legally-binding Military Covenant which defines the principles that should guide Government action on all aspects of defence policy.
Question put forthwith, That the Question be now put.
Question agreed to.
Main Question accordingly put.
The House divided: Ayes 234, Noes 318.
