Conduct Of The Right Honourable Member For Yeovil (No. 2)

EDM number 341 in 1993-94, proposed by Patrick Nicholls on 12/01/1994.

That this House calls upon the Right honourable Member for Yeovil to disassociate himself from the description by Tom Dommett, a Liberal Democrat County Councillor, of his constituents in Somerset, as 'Yids, Nig-nogs, Ities and Pakis ... no better than New Age scum and vermin'; believes that the use of such grossly offensive language about people of other nationalities and races is wholly unacceptable in public life; notes that this is yet the latest example of blatant racism within the Liberal Democrat Party; and calls upon the Leader of the Liberal Democrat Party, the Right honourable Member for Yeovil, to expel Councillor Dommett from the party forthwith.

This motion has been signed by a total of 17 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
