Question to the Leader of the House:

To ask the Leader of the House, if he will bring forward proposals to amend the standing orders of the House to allow hon. Members to read out the names of fallen soldiers on the floor of the House.

The House recognises the sacrifice of those killed in the service of their country in a range of ways. This includes honouring all those who have fallen by observing a period of silence when sitting on Armistice Day. The Prime Minister also remains committed to continuing to pay tribute to those who have died and been named by the Ministry of Defence. What individual Members are allowed to do on the floor of the House is largely a matter of practice and convention under the control of Mr Speaker. The Government has no plans to change the current procedures but we will keep it under review.
