Remembering the Victims of the Stanrigg Mining Disaster
The motion
That the Parliament acknowledges the 100th anniversary of the Stanrigg mining disaster, which resulted in the deaths of 19 miners on 9 July 1918; considers that, although the disaster was 100 years ago, it is important that the heavy price paid by miners to support the war effort during the First World War is never forgotten; notes that the memorial service, which took place earlier in July, was well attended, and thanks the organisers for ensuring that the victims of the Stanrigg disaster will never be forgotten.
