Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Jim Spicer (Conservative), on Tuesday, 5 February 1991, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 22 members in total.
INDEPENDENT NEWSPAPER AND THE PRESIDENT OF TURKEY
That this House deplores the unpleasant and offensive remarks made in The Independent on 2nd February about the President of Turkey; believes that criticism of anyone in these terms should have no place in a quality newspaper; believes that such comments are particularly unfortunate at this time when made about the head of state of a country which is a staunch ally in NATO; and calls upon the editor of The Independent to uphold standards in reporting and fair comment for which he and his newspaper are rightly renowned.
