London Borough Of Redbridge

EDM number 827 in 1999-00, proposed by Mike Gapes on 08/06/2000.

That this House congratulates Councillor Muhammad Javed and the Labour Group on their election to the leadership of Redbridge Council; notes that this follows the resignation of the previous Conservative administration which will not go into opposition; draws attention to the strange and destructive posturing of the small Liberal Democrat Group in Redbridge, whose frequent changes of position included initial support for a Tory budget, then voting for a Tory council leadership, then voting for some Labour committee chairs, and now, when they have failed to get their own way, boycotting committee meetings; and believes that this shows how Liberal Democrats are unfit to be in government, that Conservatives cannot stand the heat and that only Labour is prepared to take responsibility.

This motion has been signed by a total of 5 MPs.
