Elections In Russia

EDM number 1229 in 1994-95, proposed by Ken Livingstone on 12/06/1995.

That this House is deeply disturbed by press reports in Russia and Britain that prominent Russian political figures and businessmen are urging that parliamentary and presidential elections should not be held in December 1995 and June 1996 as specified in the Russian constitution; recalls that in October 1993 several hundred lives were lost in Moscow when President Yeltsin closed the former Russian parliament on the grounds that free elctions must be held; believes that any attempt to postpone the elections, or alter the election rules at the last moment, would undermine democracy; and asks Her Majesty's Government to make clear its view that free elections take place in Russia as scheduled.

This motion has been signed by a total of 44 MPs.
