SUN NEWSPAPER APOLOGY AND CONDUCT OF HON. MEMBER FOR SHIPLEY

Early day motion 756, tabled 26 January 2007 by George Galloway (Respect). Signed by 1 member.

That this House notes the belated retraction by the Sun newspaper of its baseless story of 7th October 2006 that British soldiers were `hounded out' of their home in Datchet, Berkshire, by `Muslim yobs'; further notes that the hon. Member for Shipley repeated the false story at the time and was quoted in support of the smear by the Sun; and therefore calls for the hon. Member to also retract his words and apologise.

Signatures by party: Respect 1.
