Closed Say No To The National Service Bill 2013-14

Closed on

We, the undersigned, wish it to be known that we are against the National Services 2013-14 Bill that is currently being put forward by Philip Hollobone Conservative MP for Kettering.

We believe joining the armed forces should be an individual choice and not mandatory.

We ask that the Private Members Bill, The National Service Bill 2013-14 be rejected and that our government reassure us that military style training, or service will always be a freedom of choice and not a system of conscription imposed upon UK citizens, especially young people.
