ENGLAND AND ST GEORGE'S DAY

EDM number 1168 in 2005-06, proposed by Nicholas Winterton on 30/11/2005.

That this House welcomes the Lord Carey of Clifton's backing of the new Archbishop of York's call for the English to celebrate St George's Day in style; congratulates Archbishop Dr John Sentamu for reminding the English that they needed to take more pride in their Englishness; recognises that the Archbishop of York's words represented Britishness at its best; and notes with concern that the courts have refused to recognise St George's Day as a special occasion.

This motion has been signed by a total of 29 MPs.
