Labour MP for Glasgow North East Maureen Burke has questioned the Prime Minister on Glasgow City Council's decision to deny the Royal Regiment of Scotland the Freedom of the City.
Ms Burke asked Sir Keir: "Earlier this month, Glasgow SNP and Green councillors rejected Labour's motion to grant the Royal Regiment of Scotland the Freedom of the City.
"It is a shameful snub to our servicemen and women, and a decision that has left many Glaswegians feeling ashamed and embarrassed. I'm the Prime Minister, agree that this is an insult to those who serve. And will he join me in urging Glasgow City Council to reconsider?"
Sir Keir responded: "I've had the privilege of meeting Scots serving in our armed forces across the world. They deserve our deepest gratitude.
"I cannot understand how the SNP and Greens have arrived at this decision, particularly when Glaswegians have contributed so much to the Royal Regiment. It's not too late to do the right thing and I'd urge them to reconsider."
