ARTHUR `ARTIE' BEETSON

Early day motion 2505, tabled 5 December 2011 by Karl Turner (Labour). Signed by 11 members.

That this House notes with sadness the death of Rugby League legend Arthur `Artie' Beetson; remembers that `Artie' played for Hull Kingston Rovers with great distinction and has left a legacy in East Hull that has not diminished over the years; further notes that he was named in the team of the century and is a member of the Rugby League Hall of Fame; recognises that he went on to be the first aboriginal to captain any Australian national sporting team; further recognises his inspiring effect on indigenous Australians, encouraging many to take up not only sport but education and employment opportunities; and expresses its deepest sympathy to his family.

Signatures by party: Labour 8, Conservative 2, Liberal Democrat 1.
