<proposer id="22648">David Shaw</proposer>
<date>1996-12-10</date>
<text>leave out from `gave' to end and add `believes that this incident demonstrates the contempt held by the Labour Party for the Scottish, English and welsh electorates; notes that the Right honourable Member for Sedgefield has been protected by skilful spin-doctoring, threates of interviews denied to unfriendly journalists and expensive image manipulation; believes that Scottish common sense can see through this smokescreen; and looks forward to the policies, judgement, strenghts and weaknesses of the Leader of the Opposition being fully tested by the media and the British people as well as a full examination of the blind funds that are paying for the image manipulation.'.</text>
