DAILY TELEGRAPH POLITICAL REPORTING (No. 4)

Early day motion 2167, tabled 15 May 2006 by Chris Mullin (Labour). Signed by 29 members.

That this House notes with interest the recent (10th May) report headed `Families are being taxed until the pips squeak' by the paper's economics editor; further notes the introductory paragraph alleging that family finances are being squeezed `more than ever before'; is, therefore, surprised to discover two paragraphs later that disposable income has actually increased and that `more than ever before' is defined as `since comparable records began in 1996'; and calls on the Editor of the Daily Telegraph to stop insulting the intelligence of its readers and take whatever steps are necessary to restore the integrity of its journalism.

Signatures by party: Labour 29.
