REMOVAL OF KEN MORLEY FROM CELEBRITY BIG BROTHER

Early day motion 689, tabled 14 January 2015 by Keith Vaz (Labour). Signed by 2 members.

That this House applauds the decision made by Channel 5 to remove Ken Morley from the Celebrity Big Brother house, following unacceptable and offensive language; condemns the racist terms used by Mr Morley when referring to both singer Alexander O'Neal and boxer Frank Bruno; is glad Big Brother has learnt the lessons of similar situations which have occurred in the past, when Shilpa Shetty suffered racist comments; and calls upon all broadcasters to have a zero-tolerance for racist, sexist, homophobic and other discriminatory acts.

Signatures by party: Labour 2.
