ERIC SYKES

Early day motion 554, tabled 4 February 2004 by Jim Sheridan (Labour). Signed by 40 members.

That this House recognises the pleasure that Eric Sykes has brought to many millions of British people with his unique brand of humour, which he is still producing despite being almost blind and deaf; and calls for recognition to be given to Eric in the form of a knighthood for his contribution to British comedy over the past 50 years.

Signatures by party: Labour 26, Conservative 5, Liberal Democrat 5, Labour/Co-operative 3, DUP 1.
