Background
The Union Jack and the St George’s Cross are the national flags of this country and are central to its identity, history, and unity. They should be respected as enduring symbols of the nation, not limited to certain events or times of year. Citizens should have the right to fly them freely as a visible expression of national pride and belonging, without interference or the threat of removal.
