JOHN CLARE'S BIRTHDAY

EDM number 2013 in 2007-08, proposed by Barry Sheerman on 10/07/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Arts, Countryside and Cultural heritage.

That this House notes that 13th July marks the birthday of the much loved English poet, John Clare, who was born in the village of Helpston in 1793; further notes that there is at present no date on which England's rural heritage is celebrated; and therefore calls upon the Government to establish 13th July as the day to celebrate both John Clare's life and the English countryside in summer.

This motion has been signed by a total of 27 MPs.
