Raising the issue in Parliament on Thursday, Conservative former minister Caroline Nokes told the Commons: “Captain Sir Tom Moore taught us that tomorrow is a good day”. She invited Mr Rees-Mogg to use his role as Lord President of the Privy Council to approve a proposal for a commemorative coin for Sir Tom. Rees-Mogg said that he would welcome such a proposal from the Royal Mint. ## Advertisement At Prime Minister’s Questions Boris Johnson encouraged the UK to clap for Sir Tom at 6pm on Wednesday in tribute. > Tonight we honoured Captain Sir Tom Moore and all the health workers he recognised > with his fundraising.
