Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Harry Barnes (Labour), on Tuesday, 19 April 1994, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 53 members in total.
CONSERVATIVE PARTY POLITICAL BROADCAST AND DERBYSHIRE
That this House condemns the Conservative Party for carrying a number of false claims about Derbyshire County Council in its party political broadcast shown on television on 6th April, including the claims (a) that Derbyshire County Council is a housing authority, when this function is conducted by the district councils in Derbyshire, (b) that the housing budget totals ??500 million, when a typical district council in Derbyshire only has a budget of ??19 million per annum and (c) that a former Labour county councillor had made claims of ??4,000 whilst in prison; and calls upon the Conservative Party to apologise for peddling such untruths.
