PARLIAMENT AND THE PUBLIC

Early day motion 863, tabled 10 March 2003 by Peter Bradley (Labour). Signed by 64 members.

That this House acknowledges that Parliament is the most public of all out democratic institutions; deplores the fact that the people who own it must queue outside with no protection from the elements when they visit; and calls upon the House authorities urgently to introduce arrangements which show a proper respect for those whom Parliament serves.

Signatures by party: Labour 40, Liberal Democrat 14, Labour/Co-operative 6, Plaid Cymru 2, Conservative 1, DUP 1.
