Walter Tull (EDM1295)

Walter Tull

EDM number 1295 in 2006-07, proposed by Keith Vaz on 18/04/2007.

That this House fully supports the campaign to recognise the achievements of Walter Tull with a statue in his honour; notes that Walter Tull was the first black British officer to lead white soldiers into battle; recognises his strong record of bravery and gallantry in wartime, being posthumously awarded the British War and Victory Medal; further notes his prior accomplishments as a successful professional footballer for a number of clubs, often in the face of vocal racial abuse; and believes that Walter Tull is a timeless role model for every generation.

This motion has been signed by a total of 37 MPs.
