CORNWALL'S PATRON SAINT

Motion Text

That this House notes that the celebrations of Cornwall's patron, St Piran, on 5th March each year are growing in scope, support and significance; believes that this is a valuable opportunity for the people of Cornwall to celebrate their unique heritage, language, culture and aspirations; recognises those who support patron saints' days in other regions and nations of the United Kingdom are also seeking official acknowledgement; and calls on the Government to make St Piran's Day a public holiday in Cornwall.
