NEWS MANAGEMENT AND SPECIAL ADVISERS
Early day motion 248, tabled 16 October 2001 by Marion Roe (Conservative). Signed by 67 members.
That this House notes with dismay the unethical behaviour of Jo Moore, a ministerial special adviser, in seeking to exploit the terrorist atrocities in America to 'bury' news stories damaging to the Government; agrees with Charlie Whelan, the former aide to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that her action was 'sickening'; and calls on the Right honourable Member for North Tyneside to remove her from his staff forthwith.
