The motion

That the Parliament notes that International Workers' Memorial Day 2020 will be marked on 28 April, and welcomes again the opportunity for all to come together to remember those who have lost their lives through workplace-related accident or illness; acknowledges with solemnity and the very greatest of respect the frontline workers in the NHS, care providers and other key services who have put their own health at risk, and those who have tragically lost their lives while working selflessly, bravely and resolutely on the frontline of the COVID-19 pandemic; joins in solidarity with the families of those workers in observing the minute's silence at 11.00am to reflect on the sacrifices that have been made in these very tragic circumstances, and commits to honour the lives of all those who have lost their lives at work and who are no longer with us.
