St HELENA

Early day motion 920, tabled 14 March 2005 by John Austin (Labour). Signed by 40 members.

That this House welcomes the outcome of the feasibility and other investigatory work carried out by the Government to ensure future access for St Helena when the RMS St Helena is withdrawn from service; and believes that the provision of air access will arrest the depopulation of the island, enable the development of a vibrant island economy, allow sustainable economic development and provide progress and prosperity for the people of St Helena.
