CONSERVATIVE PARTY AND THE NORTH OF ENGLAND

Early day motion 1843, tabled 28 October 2004 by David Clelland (Labour). Signed by 12 members.

That this House notes that the Leader of the Opposition has stated that the Tories 'can win the election without Newcastle' and 'can win the election without Liverpool'; and considers that it is just such attitudes that have led to the almost total demise of the Conservative Party across huge swathes of the North where voters have demonstrated that they, and Britain, can win without the Tories.

Signatures by party: Labour 12.
