British Conservatives And South Africa;amdt. Line 1:

EDM number 1781A2 in 1992-93, proposed by John Sykes on 26/04/1993.

leave out from 'House' to end and add 'condemns any attempt to smear the Conservative Party by associating it with Western Goals, a tiny extremist group it has consistently condemned; notes that Western Goals President Clive Derby-Lewis did not, as wrongly reported, address a fringe meeting at the 1989 Conservative Party conference; notes that the British section of Western Goals ceased functioning in 1992; notes that Western Goals (UK) had only one known member who belonged to a Conservative Association, which unanimously voted to expel him on discovering his Western Goals activities; notes that Western Goals (UK) never issued a list of its members, who are believed to have been fewer than 20 in total; notes that Western Goals (UK) hoped that the Conservative Party would lose the 1992 General Election, so that, according to the Observer of 8th December 1991,it could set up a new party to campaign against the Conservative Party and get into Parliament (as had Le Pen in France) on the back of proportional representation "to be introduced by the Lib-Lab coalition which would win the election"; notes that the Conservative Party Chairman publicly denounced "the publicity seeking antics of an extreme, anti-Conservative group, such as Western Goals, whose activities we wholly condemn"; notes that the Conservative Research Department set out Western Goals' record of links with, or support for, neo-fascist causes and individuals in a briefing note for the press, dated 6th October 1992, which concluded that "the aims and activities of Western Goals are incompatible with the objectives of the Conservative Party"; and welcomes the firmness and decisiveness of the Conservative Party in dealing with this matter, in sharp contrast to cowardice and prevarication of Labour's approach to its numerous extremists, throughout the 1980's.'

This is a ammendment to 1781.
