Racism And The Liberal Democrats

EDM number 589 in 1993-94, proposed by Gordon Prentice on 10/02/1994.

That this House applauds the action of the Liberal Democrats' London Region in issuing an ultimatum to the Liberal Democrat councillors in Tower Hamlets to accept the findings of the internal party inquiry which found that Focus leaflets pandered to racism; but regrets that purposeful action to root out racism in the Liberal Democrats has been dismissed by the Liberal Democrat Lancashire County Councillor, Tony Greaves, as 'political correctness'.

This motion has been signed by a total of 38 MPs.
