UKIP CANDIDATE IN THE ROMSEY BY-ELECTION

Early day motion 651, tabled 17 April 2000 by Sir Geoffrey Johnson Smith (Conservative). Signed by 12 members.

That this House notes with suspicion that the UKIP candidate in the Romsey by-election is actually a sitting Liberal Democrat councillor on Test Valley Borough Council; questions the legitimacy of a candidate who represents as a councillor an openly pro-federal Europe party whilst now claiming to seek the votes of those who are not; and further notes that the Liberal Democrat party has failed to eject the UKIP candidate from its Test Valley Council group.

Signatures by party: Conservative 12.
