Jill Dando

EDM number 588 in 1998-99, proposed by Paul Marsden on 27/04/1999.

That this House condemns the tragic and horrific murder of Jill Dando, the BBC presenter who was known to millions of people for presenting Breakfast News, the Holiday Programme and Crimewatch UK, who loved Weston-Super-Mare and the South West and who conveyed such enthusiasm and professionalism in her career; remembers that BBC Crimewatch UK has helped bring hundreds of criminals to justice and the part she played in its success; congratulates her for bringing alive to viewers news stories and holiday reports in a friendly, sparkling and humorous way; sends sincere condolences and sympathy to Alan Farthing, her family and friends; and urges the Home Secretary to press the police for action to catch the perpetrator.

This motion has been signed by a total of 30 MPs.
