Conduct Of The Hon. Member For Mid Ulster

EDM number 1026 in 2007-08, proposed by Gregory Campbell on 25/02/2008.
Categorised under the topics of Members of Parliament, Military operations and Terrorism.

That this House notes the Irish radio interview given by the hon. Member for Mid Ulster and Deputy First Minister in the Northern Ireland Assembly when he indicated that after the events in Londonderry on 30th January 1972 he would have killed every British soldier in that city if he could have; utterly repudiates this classic case of revisionism which ignores the fact that many murders were committed by the IRA before that event, including two police officers just days before; and calls upon the hon. Member to reveal in full the nature of his involvement, given he has already declared his position in the IRA at the time, in the organisation that was responsible for much of the terrorism before, during and after 30th January 1972; and believes that if he wishes to talk about his past then he should include an unreserved apology for the violence carried out by the IRA in Northern Ireland since 1969.

This motion has been signed by a total of 13 MPs.
