ROYAL ANGLIAN REGIMENT HOMECOMING PARADE DEMONSTRATION IN LUTON

Early day motion 1080, tabled 12 March 2009 by Nadine Dorries (Conservative). Signed by 41 members.

That this House condemns the actions of Islamist extremists at the homecoming parade of the Royal Anglian Regiment in Luton; believes that it would have been appropriate for the antagonists and the offensive placards to have been removed from the scene of the parade, on the basis that the intention was to incite public disorder, before the parade began; hopes that the Luton Police Commander shares his experience of the event with commanders at Watford, Bolton and other towns about to host similar parades; and acknowledges the dismay of the wider peaceful law-abiding Muslim community towards the extremists.

Signatures by party: Conservative 20, Labour 16, DUP 3, Liberal Democrat 2.
