LEICESTER'S CARIBBEAN CARNIVAL
EDM number 1841 in 2005-06, proposed by Keith Vaz on 17/03/2006.
That this House notes with surprise and disappointment that Leicester's Caribbean Carnival, which has been running for 22 years and attracts over 100,000 visitors to Leicester each year, has been cancelled; further notes that it has been the biggest carnival of its kind outside London; recognises the part the carnival has played in making Leicester one of the leading multi-cultural cities in Europe; and hopes that the carnival will be able to return to Leicester in 2007.
This motion has been signed by a total of 19 MPs.
