Benny Rothman And The Kinder Scout Trespass

EDM number 1173 in 2001-02, proposed by Tony Lloyd on 23/04/2002.

That this House notes the 70th Anniversary of the Kinder Scout trespass on 24th April; recalls the commitment and bravery of Benny Rothman who led the trespass of 400 ramblers from Bowden Bridge Quarry, Hayfield, to the Kinder Scout mountain in the Peak District in 1932; believes this action laid the foundation of the campaign to gain access to mountain, moorland and other closed countryside in the UK; welcomes the passing of the Countryside and Rights of Way Act 2000 after decades of tireless campaigning by Benny Rothman and his supporters; expresses its deep sadness at his death in January; and notes that without his dedication and leadership thousands of square miles of British countryside could still remain closed to the public today.

This motion has been signed by a total of 119 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
