BRITISH NATIONAL ANTHEM

Early day motion 509, tabled 6 December 2007 by Greg Mulholland (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 2 members.

That this House notes the remarks of former Attorney General, Lord Goldsmith, that the sixth and final verse of the British National Anthem `God Save the Queen' makes reference to `crushing rebellious Scots'; believes that use of this language is inappropriate, offensive and damaging in an anthem meant to represent an inclusive Union and bind the people of the United Kingdom together; and further believes that this verse should be formally dropped from God Save the Queen in all future versions.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 2.
