Motion Text

That this House is concerned at the proposed building of a third airport for Paris on the Somme battlefields which could lead to war graves having to be moved; and urges her Majesty's Government to make the strongest representations to the French authorities in recognition of the strong opposition which exists to interference with the final resting place of those who paid the ultimate sacrifice in the First World War.
