Motion Text
That this House commends the selflessness and bravery of the Rifles Regiment; notes the integral part that it plays in defending the realm by undertaking deployments in Cyprus and Estonia, thereby providing important reassurance in relation to the Middle East and the northern flank of NATO, and by training the Ukrainian armed forces; acknowledges that the Rifles Regiment celebrated and affirmed its Freedom of the Borough at a ceremony in Torbay on 27 July 2024; and further notes that the Freedom of the Borough is a great privilege and reflects the strong links between the Rifles Regiment and many communities across the south west of England.
