"There is a pressing need to establish how war memorials will be maintained appropriately. I believe that it is imperative that the Commons fully considers this issue.
We must also ensure that there is no doubt that communities that wish to commemorate those who have lost their lives in conflicts since the first and second world wars, especially in Iraq and Afghanistan, are entitled to do that."
Speaking further about the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq, Mr Heath raised the point that not enough information about the two wars is being presented to Parliament.
