Early day motion 1681

That this House notes that the honourable Member for Leicester East made a complaint to the Press Complaints Commission in respect of an article published by the Sunday Times for 22nd May which revealed that he had engineered the removal of the Leader of Leicester City Council, Mr Peter Soulsby, that the honourable Member's complaint was withdrawn, and that such withdrawal vindicates the Sunday Times and its reporting of the honourable Member's part in the removal from office of Mr Soulsby; congratulates the Sunday Times on its reporting upon the activities of the honourable Member; and calls upon the Leader of the Opposition to publish the evidence adduced before and the findings of the Labour Party inquiry into the City of Leicester Labour Party and allegations of malpractice made of the honourable Member without delay.

leave out from `notes' to end and add `that there have never been an investigation into the conduct of the honourable Member for Leicester East or any other honourable Member for Leicester or in the Labour Group of Leicester City Council whose elections for offices have properly and democratically conducted; and further notes that the informal inquiry into membership issues in the City of Leicester Labour Party was concluded on 25th August 1994, and a full statement was made by the Labour Party on 26th August 1994.'.
