Piper Alpha Disaster 25th Anniversary
EDM number 396 in 2013-14, proposed by Barry Sheerman on 11/07/2013.
Categorised under the topics of Companies, Energy, Industrial health and safety and Oil, petrol and natural gas.
That this House notes with sadness the 25th anniversary of the Piper Alpha disaster which claimed the lives of 167 people on 6 July 1988; recognises the courage and commitment of families and survivors including Ed Punchard, a diver who has campaigned for 167 annual scholarships to commemorate the victims' sacrifice; and deplores the fact that the energy companies have never provided the resources to fully fund the scholarship programme.
This motion has been signed by a total of 19 MPs.
