Abdication Of His Majesty King Edward Viii

EDM number 1524 in 2001-02, proposed by Kevin Brennan on 01/07/2002.

That this House believes in open government and the timely release of public documents of historical interest; notes recent allegations in the Press about the Nazi associations of Wallis Simpson from public archives in the United States of America; deplores the fact that people in Britain have to rely on overseas sources for information about their own history; and therefore calls for the immediate release of all currently closed United Kingdom public records relating to the abdication of King Edward VIII.

This motion has been signed by a total of 51 MPs.
