EVENTS IN CATALONIA

Early day motion 333, tabled 9 October 2017 by Hugh Gaffney (Labour). Signed by 18 members.

That this House notes with outrage the recent events in Spain, with hundreds of people being brutally attacked by state authorities, police breaking into polling stations and dragging people out on the floor; demands all the support necessary for any British nationals caught up in the abuse; calls on the Government to condemn these events in the strongest terms and to make clear to the Spanish Government that Britain will not stand silently as innocent people are brutally attacked; and reiterates the universal values of freedom of speech, democracy and peace that bind the EU together.

Signatures by party: Labour 8, Scottish National Party 8, DUP 1, Labour/Co-operative 1.
