Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Glenda Jackson (Labour), on Monday, 10 June 1996, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 63 members in total.
SIR BERNARD INGHAM
That ths House deplores the insensitive and ill-informed remarks, regarding the Hillsborough disaster, made by Sir Bernard Ingham, during BBC Question Time on Thursday 6th June; condemns his illogical disregard for the findings of the official inquiry into that disaster, by his apportioning blame for the tragedy to football supporters, dubbing them 'yobbos'; and calls upon Baroness Thatcher's former press secretary to apologise, not only to the families of the 95 innocent victims killed on that terrible day, but also to the cities of Liverpool and Sheffield for the grievious pain and distress his intemperate comments have undoubtedly caused.
