Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Jenny Jones (Labour), on Tuesday, 18 January 2000, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 66 members in total.
MIKE TYSON
That this House regrets the admittance of Mike Tyson, a convicted rapist, into the United Kingdom; is concerned that his presence will signal that rape and violence towards women is less important than commercial gain; and calls upon the Government to ensure that in future the current law on admission of foreigners is upheld in all cases, there being no excuse now for any boxing promotor or anyone else to plead ignorance of the law.
