The motion
That this House acknowledges the 80th birthday and celebrates the prolific career of Bruce Forsyth CBE; applauds his outstanding contribution to the British entertainment industry and the general happiness he has brought to the nation; acknowledges his standing as a national institution and one of Britain's most popular and influential light entertainment performers in theatre, television and film; notes his success in popular shows such as Sunday Night at the London Palladium, The Generation Game, Play Your Cards Right, The Price is Right and Strictly Come Dancing; and calls on the Government to give proper recognition for this success and his longevity in the industry spanning over 60 years and his unstinting work for charity with a well-deserved knighthood.
