That this House notes the 51st anniversary of the foundation of the Ulster Defence Regiment (UDR); further notes that the UDR's official role was established as the defence of life or property in Northern Ireland against armed attack or sabotage; highlights the loss of life of over 190 serving members and 61 veteran members of the UDR; expresses our continued sympathy to those who mourn those losses; and thanks all UDR veterans and their families for the sacrifices they have made and are still making today for Queen and country.
