Conduct Of The Honourable Member For Hartlepool

EDM number 377 in 1997-98, proposed by Julian Lewis on 30/10/1997.

That this House notes the recent admission by the Minister without Portfolio, that he was active in the Young Communist League when MI5 opened a file on him in the early 1970s; regards as unacceptable his excuse that this amounted to the holding of ordinary left-wing views; deplores his reported demand that MI5 files on Cold War subversives should be destroyed; and urges the Director-General of the Security Service to resist partisan and self-serving political pressure from the Minister without Portfolio.

This motion has been signed by a total of 48 MPs.
