THE COUNTRYSIDE ALLIANCE 'LIBERTY AND LIVELIHOOD MARCH' AND THE BRITISH NATIONAL PARTY

Early day motion 64A1, tabled 14 November 2002 by James Gray (Conservative). Signed by 33 members.

leave out from 'House' to end and add 'notes that the Countryside Alliance publicly distanced itself from the British National Party prior to both the Countryside March in 1998 and the Liberty and Livelihood March in 2002, repudiating all that the BNP stands for; further notes that the BNP played no part in the March itself; that activists who were seen distributing their newspaper were asked by the March stewards to stop; and notes that it would have been for the police to judge whether to exercise their powers in relation to any potential breach of the peace.'.

Signatures by party: Conservative 29, DUP 1, Independent Conservative 1, Liberal Democrat 1, UUP 1.
