Pardons For Suffragettes
EDM number 1071 in 2003-04, proposed by Annabelle Ewing on 28/04/2004.
That this House notes the 90th anniversary of the end of the militant campaign of the suffragette movement; recognises that the sentences handed down to suffragette prisoners and the treatment of those prisoners when convicted were politically motivated and bore no relation to the acts committed; and calls on Her Majesty's Government for a posthumous pardon for the suffragette women who were convicted during this important period in women's history.
This motion has been signed by a total of 53 MPs.
