RACHEL WHITEREAD'S SCULPTURE AT GROVE ROAD, BOW

EDM number 109 in 1993-94, proposed by Hugh Bayley on 25/11/1993.

That this House congratulates Rachel Whiteread on winning the Turner Prize as best modern artist of the year; recognises that good art is often challenging and controversial; believes it would be an act of intolerance and philistinism to destroy her sculpture in Grove Road, Bow before more people have had the opportunity to see it; and calls upon Tower Hamlets Council to allow it to remain for three months and during that time to consult local people about whether or not it should be destroyed.

This motion has been signed by a total of 55 MPs.
