EDM number 930 in 1994-95, proposed by Alex Salmond on 29/03/1995.

That this House notes newspaper reports of 29th March that two members of Labour's front bench team, the honourable Member for Cynon Valley and the honourable Member for Newcastle-upon-Tyne Central, are to be disciplined for missing an important division on the Disability Discrimination Bill; further notes that the Right honourable Member for Sedgefield and the honourable Member for Hamilton also missed these vital votes despite the Labour Party's request to minority parties for a full strength turn-out; regards the disciplining of the honourable Members in these circumstances as an act of double standards; and suggests that the leader of the Labour Party now discipline himself to put the interest of disabled people before pursuing internal Party business in Glasgow.

This motion has been signed by a total of 1 MPs.
