Middlesex Guildhall

EDM number 607 in 2006-07, proposed by Frank Field on 10/01/2007.

That this House expresses grave concern about the Government's proposals to destroy the outstanding Edwardian interior of Middlesex Guildhall in order to create a new meeting place for the UK's supreme court; believes that the most challenging task for any body or organisation serious about protecting the very best of the UK's heritage is to ensure the adaptation of existing buildings and furnishings to meet current needs with only the very minimum intervention of the building's historic fabric; recognises that the Middlesex Guildhall was restored and refurbished as recently as 1989; and calls on the Government either to house the supreme court in this building with minimum alterations or bow to the substantial body of informed opinion, both legal and architectural, that believes that a new supreme court should be housed in a distinguished new building specifically commissioned for the purpose, with the supreme court in the meantime operating in the accommodation used by the law lords.

This motion has been signed by a total of 30 MPs.
