That this House joins the people of the British Overseas Territory of Montserrat in celebrating St. Patrick's Day on 17th March; recognises the shared heritage and special relationship between the peoples of the United Kingdom and Montserrat that date back to Christopher Columbus's epic journey in 1493; notes the resilient nature of those living on the Emerald Island of the Caribbean in recovering and prospering following the eruption of the Soufriere Hills Volcano in 1997; and calls upon the Government to continue to strengthen the close constitutional, economic and cultural ties that bind the peoples of Montserrat and the United Kingdom together.
This motion has been signed by a total of 35 MPs.
