PROPOSED BRITISH NATIONAL PARTY MARCH IN LIVERPOOL

Early day motion 1138, tabled 20 March 2009 by Louise Ellman (Labour). Signed by 33 members.

That this House notes the cancellation of the planned march in Liverpool city centre by the British National Party; condemns and opposes the hatred the march was intended to foster; welcomes the campaign against the march supported by the community, local politicians and the North West Trades Union Congress; and thanks all those members of the public on Merseyside who signed the Hope not Hate petition opposing the march, thus ensuring a clear and loud voice against the bigotry of the British National Party.

Signatures by party: Labour 29, Liberal Democrat 2, Conservative 1, Independent 1.
