FUTURE OF CROMWELL GREEN

Early day motion 1172A1, tabled 12 May 2004 by Andrew Dismore (Labour). Signed by 6 members.

leave out from 'as' to end and add "God's Englishman"; whilst recognising the historic record of his brutality in Ireland, also acknowledges his vital contribution to the Parliamentary cause against a tyranny of absolute monarchy intended by the failed monarch Charles I and to the development of the British constitutional settlement; believes that the hostility of Charles Stuart and Prince Rupert towards democracy do not deserve recognition within the Parliamentary estate; and calls on the House authorities to find a location of equal or even greater prominence for Oliver Cromwell's statue, perhaps including the vacant plinth in Member's lobby, and not give in to historical revisionism to the detriment of this great figure from Britain's past.'.

Signatures by party: Labour 4, UUP 2.
