NATIONALIST EXTREMISM

Early day motion 1806, tabled 25 October 2004 by Jim Sheridan (Labour). Signed by 52 members.

That this House condemns the offensive language of the Scottish Nationalist Party (SNP) in its reference to the Union Flag as the Butcher's Apron, and believes that these irresponsible comments reflect badly on our armed forces past and present; and therefore calls on the SNP leadership at Westminster to distance itself from these extremist comments.

Signatures by party: Labour 39, Labour/Co-operative 6, Liberal Democrat 3, DUP 2, Conservative 1, UUP 1.
