Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Jim Cunningham (Labour), on Thursday, 24 October 2019, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 20 members in total.
A new HMS Coventry
That this House welcomes the Government's decision to purchase five new type 31 frigates for the Royal Navy; recognises that the name Coventry has been associated with the Royal Navy since 1658; further recognises that six ships have borne the name Coventry in this time until 2002; acknowledges the need to honour the 30 crew members who lost their lives on board HMS Coventry in 1982; calls on the Government to name one of the new frigates HMS Coventry; and notes that this would be a fitting and lasting legacy for Coventry as UK City of Culture in 2021.
