Conduct Of The Honourable Member For Rutland And Melton

EDM number 1404 in 1997-98, proposed by Gareth Thomas on 08/06/1998.

That this House notes the publication by the honourable Member for Rutland and Melton of 'Saturn's Children' in which he called for the legalisation of drugs; further notes the honourable Member's role as an Opposition frontbench spokesperson on health; believes that his views are simplistic, extreme and irresponsible; and further believes that the honourable Member should publish a full and unambiguous statement outlining whether he still adheres to his comments in 'Saturn's Children'.

This motion has been signed by a total of 20 MPs.
