British Merchant Navy

EDM number 302 in 1996-97, proposed by Eddie Loyden on 04/12/1996.

That this House is seriously concerned by the continuing decline of the Merchant Navy; recalls the important role played by the merchant fleet for over a century including two world wars; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to address as a matter of urgency the effects the decline of the Merchant Navy has on the ship building industry, the port transport industry, the British seafarers and the economy as a whole.

This motion has been signed by a total of 58 MPs.
