CONDUCT OF THE HONORABLE MEMBER FOR BLACKBURN

That this House is concerned by the exchange between the honourable Member for Liverpool, Riverside and the Foreign Secretary (5th February, Official Report, columns 745-6) about Gibraltar, in which the Foreign Secretary told his honourable Friend that she had asked him 'a disobliging question' and that 'she should not judge the Government by her own standards'; believes that Back Bench honourable Members have the right to ask searching questions of Ministers without being subjected to insult or innuendo; and calls upon the Foreign Secretary to clarify his remarks forthwith or to withdraw them.
