Conservative MP David Davies has called on abusive protests against serving military personnel to be outlawed.
The Monmouth MP has tabled an amendment to a bill governing religious hatred that would extend protection to the Armed Forces.
It would make it an offence to incite hatred against serving soldiers.
He was responding to a small group of anti-war protesters who this week demonstrated in Luton at the homecoming parade of the Royal Anglian Regiment.
They held placards saying "Anglian soldiers go to hell" and "Butchers of Basra".
