Ebeneezer Elliot

EDM number 201 in 1999-00, proposed by Denis MacShane on 15/12/1999.

That this House salutes the memory of the great Rotherham radical poet, Ebeneezer Elliot, whose death 150 years ago robbed Britain of a voice for economic change and social justice and the spirit of whose famous appeal When wilt thou save the people, Oh, God of mercy When? The people, Lord, the people Not thrones and crowns but men! remains as valid today in many parts of the world as it was 150 years ago.

This motion has been signed by a total of 14 MPs.
