EDM number 1587A2 in 1992-93, proposed by David Shaw on 17/03/1993.

leave out from 'House' to end and add 'believes that even a journalist who worked for the Daily Mirror under Robert Maxwell and who exposed cover-ups and financial misappropriation at the heart of socialism does not deserve vitriol from leftist propagandists;is concerned that the articles published in the Daily Mirror and other newspapers reveal that many poor and poverty stricken peoples of the old Soviet states forcibly contributed many millions of pounds to British trade unionists, communists and others to support the left in Britain; notes that despite those disclosures in the Daily Mirror and other newspapers that money has never been properly accounted for in any democratic process to the British or Russian peoples; calls on the Government to set up an inquiry with the Russian Government into the spending and current whereabouts of any such money; and would welcome in the public interest any information that Mr Terry Pattinson, the Daily Mirror and other newspapers can supply to such an inquiry in order that the true extent of the attempt by Soviet communists to subvert the will of the people of the United Kingdom may be made public'.

This is a ammendment to 1587.

This motion has been signed by a total of 1 MPs.
