Richard Gott And The Guardian (EDM249)

Richard Gott And The Guardian

EDM number 249 in 1994-95, proposed by Edward Leigh on 12/12/1994.

That this House congratulates the Spectator, The Times and Sunday Times for their part in exposing Richard Gott of the Guardian as a KGB agent of influence at the height of the Cold War; notes that such agents were not meant to be spies passing Western secrets to Moscow, but propagandists feeding Moscow disinformation to the West; views their behaviour as treacherous and subversive, though not illegal in peacetime; believes that they deserve full public exposure, even if they cannot be prosecuted; and accordingly calls on the security service to stop trying to obstruct Oleg Gordievsky, who identified the KGB's British agents of influence nearly a decade ago, in his efforts to expose these people once and for all.

This motion has been signed by a total of 21 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
