CONDUCT OF THE RIGHT HONOURABLE MEMBER FOR SEDGEFIELD

Early day motion 1008, tabled 10 November 1999 by Richard Body (Conservative). Signed by 1 member.

That this House regrets that the Right honourable Member for Sedgefield attempted to persuade the Metropolitan Police to bring criminal charges against Robert Henderson concerning the Right honourable Member's complaints to the police of an offence against the person, malicious letters and racial insult arising from letters Robert Henderson had written to the Right honourable Member complaining about various instances of publicly-reported racism involving the Labour Party; and that, after the Crown Prosecution Service rejected the complaints of the Right honourable Member and the Right honourable Member failed to take any civil action against Robert Henderson, Special Branch were employed to spy upon Robert Henderson, notwithstanding that Robert Henderson had been officially cleared of any illegal action.
