CONDUCT OF THE LIBERAL DEMOCRAT PARTY IN LIVERPOOL

Early day motion 1176, tabled 12 March 2008 by Peter Kilfoyle (Labour). Signed by 42 members.

That this House deplores the distribution of Liberal Democrat leaflets in Liverpool which politicise the tragic death of Rhys Jones; further condemns the inaccurate and misleading statements in those leaflets which malign the Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service and distort the budget for the Merseyside Police Service; notes that the Merseyside Fire and Rescue Service has reported Liverpool Liberal Democrat councillors to the Standards Board for their increasing tendency to misrepresent important information; and in the name of the recently espoused new politics, calls upon the right hon. Member for Sheffield, Hallam to discipline his councillors who act so unethically.

Signatures by party: Labour 39, Conservative 2, Independent 1.
