The Roof Tax In Scotland

EDM number 545 in 1989-90, proposed by Hector Monro on 15/02/1990.

That this House congratulates the Paisley Central Labour Party for their condemnation of the roof tax; notes that the roof tax has been rejected by all shades of responsible Scottish opinion, that the Labour Party's proposals for England and Wales are radically different from those in Scotland, that the roof tax has all the unfair and unjust features of the wholly discredited domestic rating system with many additional injustices and anomalies; and calls upon the Labour Party to accept the views of Paisley Central and drop those unwelcome proposals.

This motion has been signed by a total of 9 MPs.
