MR DAVID IRVING'S LIBEL CASE

Early day motion 634, tabled 11 April 2000 by Mike Gapes (Labour/Co-operative). Signed by 56 members.

That this House congratulates Professor Deborah Lipstadt and Penguin books on their victory in the David Irving libel case; welcomes the verdict of Mr Justice Charles Gray and his opinion that Irving is a racist, anti-Semite and holocaust denier; and believes that the result of this case proves that Irving is not a respectable outspoken historian but a Hitler partisan who distorts history to fit in with his own preconceived ideology.

Signatures by party: Labour 42, Labour/Co-operative 7, Liberal Democrat 4, Conservative 3.
