Former Royal Marine Music School, Deal (EDM517)

Former Royal Marine Music School, Deal

EDM number 517 in 1996-97, proposed by David Jamieson on 12/02/1997.

That this House notes the intention of the Secretary of State for Defence to visit the town of Deal on Friday 14th February; calls upon him to apologise to the people of that town for the closure of the Royal Marines Music School; draws to his attention the words of Paul Watkins, the prospective Conservative candidate for Barnsley West; former Tory leader of Dover Council and resident of Deal, who stated that 'the IRA couldn't put the school out of business but the Government has managed it'; reminds him that the then Prime Minister, Baroness Thatcher, said 'If the school closed, the heart will be torn out of Deal'; and calls upon the honourable Member for Dover to stand by his comments at the time and boycott that visit unless and until such an apology is forthcoming.

This motion has been signed by a total of 36 MPs.
