Sir Bernard Ingham

EDM number 975 in 1995-96, proposed by Glenda Jackson on 10/06/1996.

That ths House deplores the insensitive and ill-informed remarks, regarding the Hillsborough disaster, made by Sir Bernard Ingham, during BBC Question Time on Thursday 6th June; condemns his illogical disregard for the findings of the official inquiry into that disaster, by his apportioning blame for the tragedy to football supporters, dubbing them 'yobbos'; and calls upon Baroness Thatcher's former press secretary to apologise, not only to the families of the 95 innocent victims killed on that terrible day, but also to the cities of Liverpool and Sheffield for the grievious pain and distress his intemperate comments have undoubtedly caused.

This motion has been signed by a total of 62 MPs.
