The Daily Express And Roma (EDM591)

The Daily Express And Roma

EDM number 591 in 2003-04, proposed by Kevin McNamara on 10/02/2004.

That this House notes that news stories, featured in the Daily Express in particular, concerning large numbers of Roma arriving in the UK from EU accession countries have been characterised by the Minister of State for Europe as a 'rancid hate campaign'; further notes that members of the National Union of Journalists at the Express have called upon the Press Complaints Commission to assist them in resisting the instructions of their editors and management to write such articles that they believe to be in breach of the NUJ code of conduct; deplores attempts to incite racial hatred against one of the poorest and more marginalised communities in Europe; and urges the Government to make clear its abhorrence and take measures to address this deep-seated prejudice.

This motion has been signed by a total of 56 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
