Eric Martlew - Member of Parliament for Carlisle, UK (622 words) |
 | Eric is backing a move by MPs to overturn a Lords' ruling on pleural plaques. |
| Eric says the situation is worrying and threatens the future of a skilled workforce in Carlisle. |
| Eric has been asked to take part in the judging for the award for 2007, so Tag must take a back seat. |
| Martlew bill - ChapmanCentral (2422 words) |
| Eric Martlew's private member's bill (which would make it an offence to allow a child to cycle without a helmet) failed to achieve its second reading. |
| At 11:55, Eric Forth, MP, called for a vote to go into private session, a procedural motion designed to curtail the debate and allow the next Bill to be discussed. |
| Martlew was right in one respect: we are "sacrificing" 28 (well, 22, but who expects accurate figures in a helmet debate) children per year. |
