Artist Steve Mcqueen And Royal Mail

EDM number 1205 in 2008-09, proposed by Eric Joyce on 26/03/2009.
Categorised under the topics of Armed forces and Art works.

That this House notes the importance of the service rendered by armed forces personnel in Iraq; congratulates Turner Prize-winning artist Steve McQueen on his work Queen and Country, on display at the Middlesbrough Institute of Modern Art; further notes that the work is being toured by independent charity The Art Fund as part of its campaign on behalf of Steve McQueen to see his work Queen and Country completed with the publication by Royal Mail of commercial stamps made from the work; further notes that the work has been created by the artist in response to his war artist's commission, working with the families of members of the British armed forces who have lost their lives in service to the nation in Iraq and is made up of stamps showing a portrait of each fallen serviceperson from the Iraq conflict; and calls on Royal Mail to work with the artist to complete his vision of published stamps, in order to renew the relationship between the UK public and those who serve in the armed forces, and remind the nation of the sacrifice made.

This motion has been signed by a total of 30 MPs.
