LOCATION OF BUST OF KEIR HARDIE

That this House notes with pride the legacy of J Keir Hardie, founder of the Labour Party and first leader of the Parliamentary Labour Party; recognises his pioneering commitment to campaigns for a minimum wage, a Scottish Parliament, women's suffrage, independence for India, and an end to segregation in South Africa; and while welcoming the presence of the magnificent bust of Keir Hardie by Benno Schotz positioned in the Lower Waiting Hall, supports the re-siting of the bust in Central Lobby or some other suitable place on the Line of Route, so that it can be readily viewed by the general public visiting the Houses of Parliament.
