The Right Hon. Member For Kirkcaldy And Cowdenbeath And Liberal Democrats In The Cabinet

EDM number 1750 in 2006-07, proposed by Gordon Prentice on 21/06/2007.

That this House recalls the right hon. Member for Kirkcaldy and Cowdenbeath's speech to the Labour Conference in 2003 when he proclaimed that the Labour Party is best when we are boldest, best when we are united, best when were `are Labour'; believes that these sentiments sit uneasily with his offer to Lord Ashdown to take a seat in the Labour Cabinet as Northern Ireland Secretary; and regrets that he did not disclose his plan to bring Liberal Democrats into Government when he formally announced his candidacy for Labour Leader and Prime Minister on 11th May.

This motion has been signed by a total of 14 MPs.
