Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Gregory Campbell (Democratic Unionist Party), on Monday, 4 March 2013, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 6 members in total.
NEW NAME FOR CAR
That this House notes that the Korean car manufacturing firm Kia has produced a new small car which it has called the Provo; further notes that this name has caused deep offence given that the Provisional IRA were known as the Provos when they were murdering and bombing in Northern Ireland, the rest of the UK, as well as in Germany where the name is supposed to have been chosen; and calls on Kia to reconsider, and bring forward a new name which is not associated with terror and mayhem.
