Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Brian Sedgemore (Labour), on Thursday, 7 March 1991, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 25 members in total.
CONDUCT OF THE SECRETARY OF STATE FOR TRADE AND INDUSTRY
That this House condemns the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry for his view that anyone who casts a vote in a general election for a political party other than the Conservative Party is unfit to take part in BBC television and radio programmes on news and current affairs; further condemns the Secretary of State for Trade and Industry for seeking to intimidate the BBC in the run up to a general election; further condemns the Secretary of State for his churlish inability to answer hard-hitting questions which are reasonably expressed and honestly put; further condemns the Secretary of State for showing his contempt for the development of a democratic and pluralist society, happily not yet ossified by yesterday's Conservative ideology; and calls on the Prime Minister to dismiss him.
