The motion

That this House notes that 28 March 2009 marks the 30th anniversary of the motion of no confidence in Her Majesty's Government moved by Margaret Thatcher; recalls that the passage of this motion by 311 votes to 310 directly led to the election of Britain's first woman Prime Minister; and reaffirms its belief that the need for a Conservative government is as strong now as it was in 1979.
