ST PATRICK'S DAY IN MONTSERRAT

Early day motion 1051, tabled 10 March 2009 by Andrew Rosindell (Conservative). Signed by 16 members.

That this House joins the people of the British Overseas Territory of Montserrat in celebrating St Patrick's Day on 17 March 2009 as their national day; recognises the bond of friendship, shared heritage and close relationship between the peoples of the United Kingdom and Montserrat that dates back to Christopher Columbus's epic journey in 1493; notes the resilient nature of those living on the Emerald Island of the Caribbean to recover and prosper following the eruption of the Soufriere Hills Volcano in 1997; and calls on the Government to continue to strengthen the close constitutional, economic and cultural ties that bind the peoples of Montserrat and the United Kingdom together.

Signatures by party: Conservative 4, Labour 3, Liberal Democrat 3, DUP 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 2, Plaid Cymru 1, Scottish National Party 1.
