LINDISFARNE GOSPELS - "GOSPEL FACTORY"

Early day motion 240, tabled 14 July 1997 by Fraser Kemp (Labour). Signed by 13 members.

That this House welcomes the great discovery of the "Gospel Factory" which produced the Lindisfarne Gospels 1300 years ago; notes that many of the greatest works of literature and art in the world were created by the monks of medieval Northumbria; believes that this discovery reinforces the campaign to return these treasures to their rightful home; and calls upon the British Museum to return the Lindisfarne gospels to the Historic Kingdom of Northumbria.
