Closure Of Commonwealth Institute (EDM653)

Closure Of Commonwealth Institute

EDM number 653 in 1993-94, proposed by Tony Worthington on 22/02/1994.

That this House asks the Government to reconsider its decision to cease funding for the Commonwealth Institute after March 1996 and also for further talks to develop a positive future for the Commonwealth Institute; believes that in a world of racism and 'ethnic cleansing'. the Commonwealth and Commonwealth Institute are important expressions of multi-cultural and multi-racial partnership and should be strengthened and not weakened; cannot comprehend how the Government can save money when the Commonwealth Institute is a listed building which will require substantial repair and be used for another purpose; believes that withdrawal of its services will damage the national curriculum and that shutting the Commonwealth Institute will also mean closing the Scottish Commonwealth Institute and the regional centre in Bradford; and calls on the Government to increase the impact of both the Commonwealth and the Commonwealth Institute.

This motion has been signed by a total of 193 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
