LONDON ASSEMBLY

Early day motion 556, tabled 11 December 2007 by Peter Bottomley (Conservative). Signed by 12 members.

That this House notes that in May 2008 there is a possibility that at least two members of the British National Party (BNP) will gain a seat on the London Assembly, and that as things currently stand there is a grave risk of these two members of the BNP having a deciding vote on the Mayor's budget; believes that this is a potentially disastrous situation in which a future Mayor of any party could depend on BNP support to pass his budget; calls upon all politicians for all parties to denounce the BNP in London and to work together to combat anyone who seeks to play the race card in London politics; and further calls upon the Government to uses its powers to combat this very real threat.

Signatures by party: Conservative 10, Labour 1, Liberal Democrat 1.
