Withdrawal Of Privileges From Sinn Fein

EDM number 463 in 2004-05, proposed by Ian Paisley on 11/01/2005.

That this House notes with concern the statement by the Chief Constable of Northern Ireland that the IRA were responsible for the raid on the Headquarters of the Northern Bank in Belfast when in excess of ú26 million was stolen; recalls the Prime Minister's assertion that the IRA and Sinn Fein are inextricably linked; believes that this act of criminality proves that Sinn Fein cannot be treated like a normal democratic party; and calls upon the House to immediately withdraw all privileges from Sinn Fein honourable Members.

This motion has been signed by a total of 49 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
