CALDERDALE COUNCIL'S BNP APPOINTMENT

Early day motion 1497, tabled 12 July 2004 by Chris McCafferty (Labour). Signed by 79 members.

That this House condemns the decision by Calderdale Council's Conservative Cabinet to appoint a BNP councillor to the Racial Equality and Community Cohesion Working Party; congratulates the Halifax Evening Courier on its campaign and vocal opposition to this appointment; believes that the people of Calderdale will not support this decision; and calls upon Calderdale Council's Conservative Cabinet to reverse this decision which is at best shortsighted, and at worst provocative and offensive towards ethnic minorities in Calderdale.

Signatures by party: Labour 65, Labour/Co-operative 6, Liberal Democrat 4, Plaid Cymru 4.
