As we mark the centenary of the first world war, it is a national disgrace that the graves of Victoria Cross winners lie crumbling and derelict. As a patron of the Victoria Cross Trust, may I congratulate the Prime Minister and the Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government on pledging £100,000 to help to restore some of those graves, and The Sun newspaper on highlighting this campaign? As the Government have pledged to match fund every penny raised by the Victoria Cross Trust, will the Prime Minister join me in urging people to go on line, to donate and to ensure that we have fitting memorials for the bravest of the brave.
