Lord Castlereagh

Early day motion 851, tabled 17 January 2022 by Jim Shannon (DUP). Signed by 7 members.

That this House notes the programme of events at Mount Stewart Estate, Co Down to commemorate the life and death of Robert Stewart, Lord Castlereagh; further notes the chequered opinion on this man who considered himself to be Irish and an Ulsterman and was instrumental in the Act of Union 1801; highlights that the historical facts denote a complex man that will be interestingly presented in the programme of events; and urges those from all areas of the UK to come to the exhibitions to learn more about this pivotal player in the formation of the United Kingdom and Ireland at that time.

Signatures by party: DUP 6, Alliance 1.
