MR HARRY ERRINGTON GC AND WARTIME FIREFIGHTERS

Early day motion 474, tabled 11 January 2005 by Julian Lewis (Conservative). Signed by 72 members.

That this House salutes the passing of Harry Errington, the British-born son of Polish immigrants, who won the George Cross at the height of the London Blitz when, as a volunteer firefighter, he saved the lives of two trapped comrades in circumstances of great danger; recalls the sacrifice of over 300 firefighters who lost their lives in the London region alone; and pays tribute to all who manned the emergency services throughout countless attacks upon the United Kingdom during the Second World War.

Signatures by party: Conservative 38, Labour 22, DUP 4, Liberal Democrat 4, Labour/Co-operative 2, UUP 1.
