NAME OF THE CITY OF LONDONDERRY

Early day motion 215, tabled 27 November 2002 by Jeffrey Donaldson (UUP). Signed by 13 members.

That this House opposes the attempt by Sinn Fein/IRA to change the historic name of the City of Londonderry which incorporates within it the identity ot the two main traditions in the City; believes that such an action would represent a serious breach of section 75 of the Northern Ireland Act 1998 which imposes an obligation on all public bodies, including district councils, to respect the rights and identity of all sections of the community; and believes that changing the City name would be an act of discrimination against the Unionists of Londonderry.

Signatures by party: UUP 6, DUP 5, Conservative 1, Independent Conservative 1.
