DIVING ON MARITIME MILITARY WRECKS

Early day motion 458, tabled 19 March 2001 by Syd Rapson (Labour). Signed by 55 members.

That this House congratulates the three main diving agencies BSAC, PADI and SAA for producing a code of practice, 'Respect our Wrecks', advocating a look but do not touch policy incorporating all wrecks and underlining that removing items from wrecks is seen as unacceptable; and urges all responsible divers to use peer pressure on the small, irresponsible minority who interfere with marine war graves.

Signatures by party: Labour 46, Liberal Democrat 4, Conservative 2, Labour/Co-operative 1, UKUP 1, UUP 1.
