ROBIN HOOD

Early day motion 494, tabled 27 January 2004 by Lord Mann (Labour). Signed by 4 members.

That this House notes the historically inaccurate claims by Yorkshire honourable Members to the history and legacy of Robin Hood; believes honourable Members must have confused Robin Hood with Yorkshire's own Dick Turpin, a confusion highlighted by their desire to purloin Bassetlaw road signs; further notes that Sherwood Forest, home of Robin Hood, still exists and is being extended through replanting throughout Nottinghamshire; and looks forward to honourable Members from Yorkshire holidaying, during Parliamentary recess, in leafy Nottinghamshire, and visiting Clumber Park, Major Oak and other haunts of Robin Hood and his Merry Men.
