Statue Of Mahatma Gandhi In Parliament Square (EDM242)

Statue Of Mahatma Gandhi In Parliament Square

EDM number 242 in 2014-15, proposed by Keith Vaz on 09/07/2014.
Categorised under the topics of Art works, Asia, Cultural heritage and International politics and government.

That this House welcomes the announcement by the Chancellor of the Exchequer on his visit to India that there will be a statue of Mahatma Gandhi in Parliament Square; recognises that this is the culmination of a long campaign to honour this great man; notes that there are two other statues of Mahatma Gandhi in Tavistock Square and Belgrave Road in Leicester; and considers that a suitable location would be between the statues of Peel and Disraeli and near Nelson Mandela, with the Supreme Court behind him and facing Big Ben.

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