Motion Text
That this House calls for the Ministry of Defence to repeat last year's provision of extra minutes of free talk time over the festive period for British military personnel serving overseas; further calls for an assessment of the adequacy of mobile broadband internet terminals to ensure adequate access to email; and recognises how valuable being able to communicate with family and friends at home is for troops, particularly during the Christmas holidays.
