Members considered a report which sought to transfer the Freedom of Entry to the City to the newly formed Yorkshire Regiment.

RESOLVED: That the Freedom of Entry to the City be transferred to the new Yorkshire Regiment.
REASON: To uphold tradition and continue to foster links with the former battalions
