Mike Tyson

EDM number 290 in 1999-00, proposed by Jenny Jones on 18/01/2000.

That this House regrets the admittance of Mike Tyson, a convicted rapist, into the United Kingdom; is concerned that his presence will signal that rape and violence towards women is less important than commercial gain; and calls upon the Government to ensure that in future the current law on admission of foreigners is upheld in all cases, there being no excuse now for any boxing promotor or anyone else to plead ignorance of the law.

This motion has been signed by a total of 67 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
