INTERNATIONAL BRIGADE AND THE 70th ANNIVERSARY OF GUERNICA

Motion Text

That this House pays tribute to the members of the International Brigade who fought for freedom and against fascism in the Spanish Civil War; salutes their enduring courage and valour; recognises that 2008 marks the 70th anniversary of the bombing of Guernica, where the Luftwaffe honed the techniques that were subsequently used on London; and calls on the Government to send a representative to the memorial tributes for the International Brigade in July at Jubilee Gardens, Waterloo.
