CHADWELL BY-ELECTION

Early day motion 468, tabled 12 July 2010 by Mike Gapes (Labour). Signed by 19 members.

That this House congratulates Wes Streeting on his election to Redbridge Council in the by-election in Chadwell Ward on 8 July 2010; notes that Labour won 800 votes, 220 more than the Conservative candidate, with the Liberal Democrats forced into a humiliating third place in a ward they had represented for 16 years until May 2010; and expresses its belief that this is a resounding rejection of the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition in power in both Redbridge and nationally.

Signatures by party: Labour 19.
