That this House welcomes the campaign of Otley Brass Band to save the Yorkshire anthem, the Ilkla Moor Baht 'at, by teaching the song to youngsters throughout the county; notes the hard work of Gordon Eddison, musical director of Otley Brass Band, who has launched the campaign; further notes that the Baht 'at is an important part of Yorkshire heritage that needs to be preserved in the minds of our young people; is concerned that if young people do not know the song then slowly but surely On Ilkla Moor Baht 'at could die out; encourages the band to continue educating young people about Yorkshire's cultural traditions; and strongly supports the call for a county-wide campaign to save this Yorkshire anthem in 2012.

This motion has been signed by a total of 7 MPs.
