BBC AND SCOTTISH HONOURABLE AND RIGHT HONOURABLE MEMBERS

Early day motion 924, tabled 14 March 2005 by Jim Sheridan (Labour). Signed by 49 members.

That this House condemns the irresponsible and divisive comments of BBC journalists in describing Scottish honourable and Right honourable Members as being part of a 'Scottish raj' which is ruling the country; and calls on the senior management of the BBC to apologise unreservedly for this insulting, outdated and snobbish attitude to life in a modern UK.

Signatures by party: Labour 44, Labour/Co-operative 5.
