TURNOVER OF INCUMBENTS IN THE POST OF MINISTER OF STATE FOR EUROPE

Early day motion 1624, tabled 9 June 2009 by Andrew MacKinlay (Labour). Signed by 16 members.

That this House notes that since the general election of 1997 no fewer than 11 appointments have been made to the post of Minister of State for Europe; and considers that the turn-over is too frequent and deleterious to United Kingdom interests.

Signatures by party: Labour 9, Liberal Democrat 5, Conservative 1, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
