The motion

That this House recalls that the worst civilian disaster in Britain during the Second World War took place on 3rd March 1943 when 173 people were killed at Bethnal Green tube station; notes the campaign by the Stairway to Heaven Memorial Group to establish a fitting memorial to commemorate the tragedy; congratulates the Group on its work and joins with it in calling on the Mayor of London, London Underground, Tower Hamlets Council and all relevant bodies to work with the Group to bring that about speedily, given that the station is currently undergoing refurbishment.
