Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Derek Enright (Labour), on Wednesday, 3 November 1993, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 37 members in total.
SOCIAL TEACHING OF POPE JOHN PAUL II
That this House acknowledges the Pope's rededication to the principles of Rerum Novarum (enunciated over 100 years ago) calling for a just wage for workers and for their right to membership of trades unions and of co-operative movements protected by law; welcomes his condemnation of the rise in unemployment and poverty resulting in human misery as well as his reaffirmation of a concern for community as opposed to individualism; affirms its opposition to achieving this through totalitarianism; endorses therefore the social clauses of Maastricht as first step in nurturing socialism's positive kernels; and calls on her Majesty's Government to re-examine its decision to reject the Social Chapter.
