Light Pollution

EDM number 1544 in 1993-94, proposed by Gordon Prentice on 19/07/1994.

That this House welcomes the campaign against light pollution launched by the British Astronomical Association and the Council for the Protection of Rural England which, in many parts of the countryside, makes a starry night a thing of the past; and believes that while our cities, towns and villages must be well lit, the lighting should be well designed and trained towards the ground where it is needed and not skywards where it pollutes the night sky.

This motion has been signed by a total of 27 MPs.
