MIKE TYSON

Early day motion 290, tabled 18 January 2000 by Jenny Jones (Labour). Signed by 66 members.

That this House regrets the admittance of Mike Tyson, a convicted rapist, into the United Kingdom; is concerned that his presence will signal that rape and violence towards women is less important than commercial gain; and calls upon the Government to ensure that in future the current law on admission of foreigners is upheld in all cases, there being no excuse now for any boxing promotor or anyone else to plead ignorance of the law.

Signatures by party: Labour 51, Liberal Democrat 9, Labour/Co-operative 4, Scottish National Party 1, UUP 1.
