400th Anniversary Of Bermuda's Links To Britain

EDM number 498 in 2009-10, proposed by Andrew Rosindell on 15/12/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Overseas territories.

That this House joins the people of the British Overseas Territory of Bermuda in celebrating the 400th anniversary of the historic events of 1609, when a flotilla of ships set sail from Plymouth for Jamestown, Virginia, led by the flagship, Sea Venture, which was swept ashore amidst a vicious storm leading to the discovery of Bermuda by British colonists, resulting in four hundred years of continuous habitation of these small, beautiful Atlantic islands; is proud of the strong historical bonds that have developed between Bermuda and the United Kingdom over the centuries and cherishes that special relationship which continues to flourish to this day; notes with pride the recent visit to the territory by Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II as the Head of State and Sovereign of Bermuda; and calls upon Her Majesty's Government to strengthen the close constitutional, economic and cultural ties that have endured between the peoples of Bermuda and the United Kingdom for over four centuries.

This motion has been signed by a total of 31 MPs.
