Settler Watch And The Scottish National Party

EDM number 2512 in 1992-93, proposed by Norman Hogg on 26/10/1993.

That this House views with the utmost concern the emergence in Scotland of Settler Watch, a racist organisation intent upon harassing fellow citizens of the United Kingdom who have chosen Scotland as their place of residence; notes that two members of the Scottish National Party, Sonja Vathjunker, vice-convener of Aberdeen South SNP Association, and Lynn Conway were convicted at Kincardine and Deeside District Court on 9th September on charges associated with their membership of Settler Watch; regrets that the National Executive Committee of the Scottish National Party at their meeting on 9th October failed to expel Vathjunker and Conway from membership of the SNP and chose instead the soft option of suspending their membership for only two years; and calls upon the leadership of the SNP to match its anti-racist rhetoric with appropriate action and expel Vathjunker and Conway for life.

This motion has been signed by a total of 24 MPs.
