Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Andrew Rowe (Conservative), on Wednesday, 2 September 1998, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 288 members in total.
SPEAKER'S CHAPLAIN
That this House notes that the Reverend Canon Donald Gray is to retire at the end of the current session after 11 years as Chaplain to the Speaker; pays warm tribute to his years of service to this House both in his formal duties and in his less formal but equally important ministry to honourable Members and staff throughout the House (including his support to the Parliamentary Christian Fellowship); notes also that he and his wife Joyce having made many friends in and outside Parliament, will be greatly missed; and wishes them both many happy and fulfilling years in their retirement.
