Forth Rail Bridge Gold Blue Peter Badge

EDM number 2699 in 2010-12, proposed by Michael Crockart on 07/02/2012.
Categorised under the topic of Roads.

That this House welcomes the award of the iconic Gold Blue Peter Badge to the Forth Rail Bridge; notes that the Bridge is the first manmade structure to receive the accolade; further notes that the Rail Bridge will now join an exclusive club which includes the Queen and David Beckham; recognises the significance of the award given that fewer than 1,000 of the gold badges have been awarded in Blue Peter's 53 year history; welcomes the award's recognition of the risk that individuals took in constructing the Bridge; and adds its thanks to those workers who risked their lives to bring Scotland such an outstanding piece of engineering.

This motion has been signed by a total of 6 MPs.
