That this House joins the people of Norfolk Island in celebrating Bounty Day on 8th June 2006, the 150th Anniversary of Queen Victoria's gift to the Pitcairn Islanders; notes the great historical links between Norfolk Island and Great Britain since its first sighting by Captain James Cook from HMS Resolution in 1774 and his subsequent naming of the island after the then Duchess of Norfolk; recognises the important part that these settlers had on forming the nucleus of the new society that continues to prosper today on the island; and further notes the improtance of maintaining the deeply entrenched historical traditional links and shared heritage between Britain and Norfolk Island for many centuries to come.

This motion has been signed by a total of 19 MPs.
