Scottish Tories And The Sea Fish Bill

EDM number 447 in 1992-93, proposed by Alex Salmond on 07/07/1992.

That this House notes the absence of the honourable Members for Kincardine and Deeside, Aberdeen South and Ayr, at the fishing lobby on 7th July, in spite of the considerable fishing interests of their respective constituencies; can only assume the decision of the Scottish Conservative honourable Members concerned was based on the belief that discretion is the better part of valour; and notes that at the Report and Third Reading stages of the Sea Fish (Conservation) Bill, by their voting behaviour, they will have the opportunity to demonstrate whether their top priority is allegiance to the Conservative Party or representation of their constituencies' fishing interests.

This motion has been signed by a total of 4 MPs.
