Maritime War Graves

EDM number 192 in 2000-01, proposed by Syd Rapson on 15/01/2001.

That this House considers that nothing is more repugnant than the violation of the graves of those who died for their country in time of conflict; and believes maritime wrecks designated as 'War Graves' should be protected against plundering for commercial profit by amateur souvenir hunters by a 100 metre exclusion zone around these maritime graves and a 100 year moratorium on diving or filming of these sites.

This motion has been signed by a total of 67 MPs, 2 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
