St George's Day

Lodged by John Mason Standard Motion 1 supporter

The motion

That the Parliament recognises that 23 April is St George’s Day; wishes all, in this difficult time, a happy and safe day; remembers the time before the union of England and Scotland when the day was a much larger celebration; notes that, in 2009 when he was the Mayor of London, the current Prime Minister spearheaded a campaign to reinvigorate the St George’s Day celebrations, and suggests that, perhaps if Scotland was independent, it might facilitate this aim of reinvigorating those celebrations.
