Speaker's ruling from Speaker in the House of Commons on Thursday, 21 December 2000.


: Ruling that 'every honMember booking meeting facilities in the House should always be careful about how the facilities are to be used and ensure that they are used only by reputable organisations

Ruling that 'every honMember booking meeting facilities in the House should always be careful about how the facilities are to be used and ensure that they are used only by reputable organisations. We have domestic Committees... I dare say they will look into the matter. Certainly if it were ever proved that such an organisation was operating in the House, I would take a very serious view on it' in response to point of order from Mr Winnick relating to facilities being used for apparently racist reasons.
