Tristan Da Cunha

EDM number 1717 in 2010-12, proposed by Andrew Rosindell on 04/04/2011.
Categorised under the topic of Overseas territories.

That this House notes with concern the devastating effect of the recent grounding of the bulk carrier M.S. Oliva on the British Overseas Territory of Tristan da Cunha; recognises the significant environmental impact which the escaping bunker oil is having on indigenous birds and wildlife; congratulates the Governor, Andrew Gurr, and his team on their swift response so far, whilst remaining mindful of the long-term implications on the fishing- and tourism-driven economy of Tristan da Cunha; and urges the Government to provide as much support as necessary during and after the clean-up process on this far away but cherished territory of the Crown.

This motion has been signed by a total of 21 MPs.
