EMILY DAVISON

Early day motion 187, tabled 4 June 2013 by Emily Thornberry (Labour). Signed by 73 members.

That this House recalls that 100 years ago on 8 June 1913, Emily Wilding Davison died having been trampled by the King's Horse; notes that she was a leading member of the suffragette movement and a fighter for women's rights; further notes that of the 100 non-royal statues in the Palace of Westminster only six are statues of women; and therefore encourages the House authorities to erect a statue in her memory.

Signatures by party: Labour 52, Conservative 5, Liberal Democrat 5, Plaid Cymru 3, Social Democratic and Labour Party 3, Scottish National Party 2, DUP 1, Green 1, Respect 1.
