CONSERVATIVE MEPS AND THE EUROPEAN PEOPLE'S PARTY

EDM number 1264 in 2005-06, proposed by Chris Bryant on 13/12/2005.

That this House notes with concern the links between the Conservative MEP Daniel Hannan and Paul Belien and his wife Alexandra Colen, a member of the Belgian Parliament for the far right Vlaams Belang party and for its predecessor Vlaams Blok; further notes that Vlaams Blok was condemned by the highest court in Belgium for its racist policies and was founded by those determined to secure a general amnesty for veterans of the SS; further notes that the hon. Member for Witney the Leader of Her Majesty's Opposition intends to withdraw his MEPs from membership of the European People's Party in the European Parliament; believes this will either lead to Conservative MEPs' complete isolation or to them teaming up with similar far right groups; and calls on the hon. Member for Witney to disassociate himself from the actions and allies of Daniel Hannan MEP.

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