Conduct Of The Secretary Of State For Scotland (No.2)

EDM number 788 in 1989-90, proposed by Harry Ewing on 26/03/1990.

That this House expresses its great relief that at long last the Secretary of State for Scotland, the Right honourable Member for Edinburgh, Pentlands, is prepared to confront and defy the Prime Minister in the interests of the people of Scotland but deeply regrets that his display of defiance has come too late to protect the people of Scotland from the ravaging effects of the policies introduced by the Prime Minister, supported strongly by the honourable Member for Stirling; and strongly resents the fact that the money to pay for the political courage shown by the Secretary of State is to be taken from Scottish children's education, patient care in the National Health Service or some other Scottish Office programme and is not to be provided by the Treasury.

This motion has been signed by a total of 27 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
