EDM number 903 in 1995-96, proposed by Hilary Armstrong on 16/05/1996.

That this House notes with serious concern the attempts made by the honourable Member for Dover to distract attention from the contents of the District Auditor's Report on Westminster City Council by using parliamentary privilege to make untrue allegations to discredit the objectors' professional and personal conduct; further notes that the honourable Member has failed to repeat the same allegations outside the House; affirms that all the allegations made against the objectors are untrue and scurrilous, and that these allegations had already been accepted as untrue yet the honourable Member forDover knowingly repeated them; and congratulates the 12 obj ectors whose conscientiousness and hard work has culminated in the District Auditor's findings that Dame Shirley Porter and others were 'guilty of wilful misconduct'.

This motion has been signed by a total of 46 MPs.
