Remembrance, UK Armed Forces and Society

Proceeding contribution from Stephen Doughty (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 November 2020. It occurred during Debate on Remembrance, UK Armed Forces and Society.

I agree that it is very important to remember more recent conflicts, for example the Falklands. Will my right hon. Friend join me in recognising a very positive moment today? It is nearly 40 years since the Falklands conflict, and while we remember those who lost their lives in that conflict, we recognise the work of those who have been de-mining. Today, the Falkland Islands celebrates the fact that mines have been completely removed. The conflict lives on not only in those who suffered and died, but in its physical impact, and it is great that that has now been removed from the Falkland Islands.
