EDM number 1044A1 in 1994-95, proposed by Don Dixon on 01/05/1995.

leave out from `House' to end and add `congratulates South Tyneside Labour Controlled Council which in spite of its area being devastated by Tory policies which, since 1979, have achieved something that Hitler's bombers could not do during the Second World War by closing the last steelworks, the last pit and the last shipyard in the area, policies which have left South Tyneside with the highest unemployment rate in mainland Britain, notes that not withstanding all the devastation created by Tory policies, South Tyneside Labour Controlled Council, according to the 1995 Government's own Official Audit Report, has one of the most efficient housing managements nationwide with council rents amongst the lowest in the country and that South Tyneside Council is one of the leading providers of nursery education; notes further that because of its record in providing services South Tyneside Labour Controlled Council is now a completely Tory free zone, and that out of 60 councillors not one Tory has been elected for many years, and this year with 20 council seats being contested the Tories can only find candidates to fight in 10 of these seats; and calls for the Chairman of the Tory Party or any other Tory honourable Member to go to South Tyneside in support of the Tory candidates.'.

This is a ammendment to 1044.
