RESELECTION MALPRACTICE IN LEITH

That this House recognises that 16 months ago the honourable Member for Edinburgh, Leith won reselection as his party's prospective parliamentary candidate in the first round of a democratic vote against two other nominees; notes that in a subsequent reselection, which was engineered by his opponents, he was excluded from the ballot and a defeated nominee was installed in his place, despite clear evidence of malpractice; further notes that a major trade union has protested about other irregularities; and regrets that Labour's General Secretary has been unable or unwilling to reply to the points raised by the honourable Member's Edinburgh lawyer.
