CHURCHILL BUST IN AMERICA

Early day motion 961, tabled 3 March 2009 by Gregory Campbell (DUP). Signed by 12 members.

That this House notes the decision of the new US President not to retain in the White House the gift of a bust of Winston Churchill; expresses the hope that this decision may now allow, in appropriate circumstances, a display of the bust in the United States for millions of Americans and others to see what courage, leadership, vision and determination is in a political leader, who helped steer not just his nation but the free world to victory over fascism and terror on a worldwide scale; and further expresses the hope that some day soon a leader coming close to Churchill's stature will emerge in the United States who can do likewise.

Signatures by party: DUP 7, Conservative 3, Labour 1, Liberal Democrat 1.
