Anniversary Of The 1984-85 Miners' Strike

EDM number 1008 in 2013-14, proposed by Fiona O'Donnell on 28/01/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Coal and Industrial relations.

That this House notes that March 2014 marks the 30th anniversary of the start of the 1984-85 miners' strike; further notes that strike's devastating impact on coalfield communities throughout the UK, including those in the Lothians; commends the many thousands of people across the UK who showed solidarity with the striking miners in their local communities; regrets that nearly 30 years after the strike ended, there are still men who were wrongly arrested or convicted during the dispute, who have never received justice; and welcomes plans to commemorate the strike's anniversary in East Lothian and in other communities across the UK.

This motion has been signed by a total of 66 MPs.
