Serbia And The Conservative Party

EDM number 537 in 1998-99, proposed by Bill Rammell on 14/04/1999.

That this House notes reports in the Daily Express that the Conservative Party received money from a company owned by the Yugoslav state; further notes that the previous Conservative Government followed a policy of appeasement of that Yugoslav regime, regarding the war criminal Milosevic as a useful ally in the region; further notes that the Conservative Party fielded as a parliamentary candidate in Halesowen and Rowley Regis a Mr John Kennedy, a noted defender of Serb policy; and demands that the Conservative Party pay any monies received from Serbian sources to appropriate authorities engaged in refugee relief during the current Balkans crisis.

This motion has been signed by a total of 24 MPs.
