CONDUCT OF THE RT HON MEMBER FOR ISLWYN AND THE PRIME MINISTER

That this House expresses no surprise that the Leader of the Labour Party in his desire to save the Prime Minister has tabled a no confidence motion which he knows she will win and will serve to unite the Conservative Party around her; notes that as a consequence a critical debate on the crisis facing the Scottish steel industry has been abandoned; notes that this is a repeat of his tactic during the Gartcosh closure crisis when he ditched an agreed debate to pursue the Westland affair, to no purpose; draws the conclusion that the Right honourable Gentleman's chief interest in Scotland is votes and not the real problems facing the Scottish people; and further notes that either by incompetence or design he has always been able to save the Prime Minister when she faced a crisis.
