CONDUCT OF SCOTTISH NATIONALIST PARTY HONOURABLE MEMBERS DURING PROCEEDINGS ON THE PREVENTION OF TERRORISM BILL

Early day motion 959, tabled 18 March 2005 by Lord Bruce of Bennachie (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 2 members.

That this House notes that during the final sittings on the Prevention of Terrorism Bill, three of the five Scottish Nationalist honourable Members, including the Leader and Chief Whip took no part in the proceedings, missing all votes, that a fourth missed half the votes and that only one attended throughout; concludes that the lack of interest of the SNP in issues of individual liberty and fundamental human rights demonstrates their irrelevance for a role in Westminster; and suggests that their constituents would be well advised to take the earliest opportunity to send them home.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 2.
