PASSING OF EXPLORER HENRY WORSLEY MBE

Motion Text

That this House notes the passing of explorer Henry Worsley as he undertook, unaided, one of the most arduous, difficult and testing journeys imaginable of an incredible 900 miles across the Antarctic in temperatures of -40c in aid of the worthwhile cause, the Endeavour Fund, which helps wounded service personnel; acknowledges HRH Prince William's tribute to Mr Worsley; extends its sympathies to his wife and family in their loss; and salutes the exceptional bravery and endeavour of a man who served his country with distinction in Northern Ireland, Bosnia, Kosovo and Afghanistan.
