SAJJAD KARIM MEP'S BLOG

Early day motion 424, tabled 28 November 2007 by Gordon Prentice (Labour). Signed by 12 members.

That this House records its astonishment that the Conservative MEP, Sajjad Karim, has stated that the blog entries critical of the right hon. Member for Witney and various comments hostile to the Conservatives which appeared over a period of time on Mr Karim's website were a result of a former employee who had acted on his behalf but without his permission; notes that Mr Karim claims that the aide has now been sacked, explaining that, like most politicians, he was reliant on the team around him but he had been let down on this occasion; and urges Mr Karim to name the former aide who betrayed him so injuriously.

Signatures by party: Labour 11, Liberal Democrat 1.
