Conduct Of Rt Hon Member For Barking And Child Abuse In Islington
EDM number 1175 in 1994-95, proposed by John Marshall on 23/05/1995.
That this House deplores the behaviour of the honourable Member for Barking in seeking to shuffle the blame onto others for the findings of the independent White Report; condemns Islington Borough Council which, during the period when the honourable Member for Barking was its leader, betrayed the children in its care, exposing them to severe abuse in council-run homes, failed to investigate such abuses and allowed those responsible to escape unpunished; believes that the stain of political correctness and corruption ingrained in Labour-run local authorities like Islington led to this scandal; and calls upon the honourable Member to accept her share of the responsibility and to apologise without reservation to the victims.
This motion has been signed by a total of 28 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
