BLACK WATCH TERRITORIAL ARMY

That this House expresses concern at the proposed removal of the Red Hackle from the caps of Black Watch Territorial Army soldiers; recognises that the Red Hackle is the most recognisable symbol of the Black Watch; notes the proud and honourable history of the regiment; understands that the identity of the historic regiment must be protected; and hopes that the retention of the regiment's distinct identity, promised on the creation of the Royal Regiment of Scotland, will be upheld.
