That this House welcomes the commission of Professor Samson Kambalu and his sculpture Antelope for installation on the Fourth Plinth in Trafalgar Square in 2022; recognises that the sculpture is a recreation of a 1914 photograph of pan-Africanist Malawian preacher, John Chilembwe and European missionary John Chorley, where Chilembwe wears a hat in defiance of colonial rules which forbade this in front of white people; acknowledges that, the year after the photograph was taken, the preacher led a rebellion against colonial rule and died; understands that the artist depicts a larger-than-life Chilembwe, in contrast to the life-size Chorley, to elevate Chilembwe and his story and reveal the hidden narratives of underrepresented people in the history of the British Empire in Africa and beyond; notes that Malawi-born Kamablu, who is Associate Professor of Fine Art at the Ruskin School of Art and a Fellow of Magdalen College, has described the commission as a litmus test for how much he belongs to British society as an African and a cosmopolitan; and congratulates Professor Kambalu on having his work chosen for public display in Trafalgar Square to be engaged with and appreciated by millions of people.

That this House notes the decision of the Westminster City Council Planning Committee on 9th July that the erection of any structure on the North Terrace of Trafalgar Square would be unacceptable in principle; further notes that this decision is not an indication that they are opposed to the proposal to erect a statue of Nelson Mandela within Trafalgar Square at an agreeable location within the context of the square that is acceptable both to the Planning Committee and to the Nelson Mandela Statue Fund; welcomes the statement by Westminster City Council that they are keen to work with the Nelson Mandela Statue Fund with a view to agreeing a location for the statue within the square; and further welcomes the indication that an application for planning permission for the erection of the statue on the east side of the Square in front of South Africa House and to the north of its main entrance, subject to refinement of the detail design of the statue and its plinth; and urges both Westminster City Council and the Nelson Mandela Statue Fund to reach agreement so that the statue can be erected in its fit and proper place, which would serve as both a marker of the historic role the Square played at each stage of Mandela's political battle and as a right and proper honour from the British people to this international politician who had led the world stage in defeating apartheid, breaking down racist barriers and, more recently, in raising the profile of the HIV/AIDS epidemic in Africa.

That this House celebrates the multicultural diversity of London; notes that the plinth on the northwest corner of Trafalgar Square is currently vacant; further notes that this plinth is close to South Africa House, the scene of 40 years of anti-apartheid demonstrations and 28 years of protests against the imprisonment of Nelson Mandela; further notes that Trafalgar Square is a prominent public venue; recognises that Nelson Mandela is a figure of international stature whose brave fight against an unjust regime earned him the respect of the British people as well as the millions of visitors to London and therefore calls on Westminster City Council to recognize the achievements of Nelson Mandela and to grant permission for plans to erect a statue in Nelson Mandela's honour on the plinth on the northwest corner of Trafalgar Square.

That this House notes the improvements to Trafalgar Square involving the pedestrianisation of the north terrace of this historic site; further notes the proposal for a statue of Nelson Mandela to be placed on the north terrace overlooking the Square; recalls the support given by millions of Britons to the overthrow of apartheid in South Africa; recognises the extraordinary personal commitment of Mr Donald Woods in the struggle to defeat racism in South Africa; commends the hard work of Wendy Woods, Lord Richard Attenborough and the countless others to complete Donald Woods' vision of placing a statue of Mr Mandela in this prominent position in Trafalgar Square; recognises the widespread international backing for the siting of a statue of Dr Mandela in this position, including the personal endorsement of Dr Mandela himself; and urges that planning permission for a statue of this great international statesman on this site to be given swiftly in order to expedite this honour from the people of Britain.

That this House recognises that insufficient attention is paid to the contribution of ethnic minorities to Britain today and in the past, and especially to the role of black women; believes that a statue of Mary Seacole should be erected on the vacant plinth in Trafalgar Square, in keeping with its 19th Century military history; notes the words of the celebrated Times journalist William Russell, who said 'I trust England will not forget one who nursed her sick, who sought out her wounded to aid and succour them and who performed the last offices for some of her illustrious dead'; recalls that the fund set up on her behalf in 1867 was chaired by Colonel Henry Daniell of the Coldstream Guards, had as patrons the Prince of Wales and the Duke of Edinburgh, and that its committee included senior officers of some of Britain's most famous regiments and her Royal Navy; concurs with the gratitude and approbation expressed by Queen Victoria for her services; and therefore feels that her place in the Square would be well deserved and a fitting tribute to a women from Jamaica whose work in the Crimea was so highly regarded.
