Behaviour Of Police In Majorca

EDM number 2102 in 1992-93, proposed by Harold Elletson on 27/05/1993.

That this House condemns the thoroughly uncivilised, racist and undemocratic behaviour of Spanish police in Majorca who threatened and attacked members of Blackpool Football Club holidaying on the island; draws attention to the fact that Trevor Sinclair was repeatedly beaten whilst in police custody and that another player, Andy Gouck, was threatened with an injection of heroin; believes that such practices are entirely unacceptable in a democracy; and urges the Foreign Secretary to protest to the Spanish Government and to demand compensation and a full investigation of the methods of the Majorcan police.

This motion has been signed by a total of 15 MPs.
