Sir Christopher Meyer

EDM number 1081 in 2005-06, proposed by Alan Keen on 22/11/2005.

That this House deplores the publication of `DC Confidential' by Sir Christopher Meyer; regrets that a former senior ambassador should break the long-standing conventions against such publication; is dismayed at the betrayal of trust in the promulgation of such scurrilous memoirs; recognises the real damage caused to the essential relationships between Ministers, diplomats, and their advisers; notes the concern of former high-ranking civil servants; and calls on Sir Christopher to resign as Chairman of the Press Complaints Commission, believing that his actions make it incompatible for him to hold this position.

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs.
