Occupation Of County Hall

EDM number 2148 in 1992-93, proposed by Tony Banks on 11/06/1993.

That this House offers warm congratulations to those Londoners who successfully maintained a 24-hour occupation of County Hall in protest at the lack of a strategic authority and voice for London; notes that County Hall is still empty six years after the abolition of the Greater London Council; believes that the decision by the politically malignant Chairman of the London Residuary Body to allow the Japanese company Shiryama to turn County Hall into a luxury hotel is repugnant to the majority of Londoners; hopes that the deal fails; and offers support to London activists in their future campaign to draw attention to the lack of co-ordination and cohesion in London and the continuing scandal surrounding the future of County Hall.

This motion has been signed by a total of 39 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
