Conduct Of The Hon. Member For Stockton South

EDM number 2043 in 1992-93, proposed by Frank Cook on 19/05/1993.

That this House recognises readily the commendable candour displayed by the honourable Member of Stockton South in his fortnightly column published in the Stockton local supplement of the Thompson Regional Newspaper Evening Gazette Teesside Edition dated Tuesday 18th May 1993 in which he clearly states 'There have been mistakes in policy handling by Government ministers in the last years'; relentlessly asserts that 'As a Party we must do more to listen to the feelings of our electors all the time'; and fearlessly concludes 'The Government needs to demonstrate it is listening to popular concern at the moment'; congratulates the honourable Member on his very firm written assurance that 'the Government will listen and will respond'; expresses the fervent hope that the honourable Member is correct in such an optimistic assumption, particularly with regard to the recent issues of great public concern especially among the elderly and the sick over the potential commercial subversion of the trading base of sub-post offices and small pharmacists; and finally pays unqualified tribute to the honourable Member firstly for the optimism registered in his statement that the 'Government can still get to the top of the league' and secondly for the clear acknowledgement within that statement that the Government is far from that position at this present time.

This motion has been signed by a total of 16 MPs.
