Proceeding contribution from Lord Sarwar (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 11 November 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Public Disorder (NUS Rally).
Public Disorder (NUS Rally)
I wholeheartedly agree with the Minister's condemnation of yesterday's violent actions, and with his tribute to the police. The NUS was quick to condemn those actions, and is frustrated—as anyone else would be—that its genuine protest was hijacked by militants and extremists. Will the Minister take this opportunity to distance himself from the comments of the hon. Member for Mid Bedfordshire (Nadine Dorries), who said during the business statement that the NUS was ““egging on”” the protesters? I do not think that yesterday's events should be used as a way of defaming the name of the NUS.
