That this House condemns the fact, despite assurances previously given by the former Conservative Prime Minister, the Right honourable Member for Huntingdon, that he would unreservedly condemn Dame Shirley Porter if she were found guilty in a court of law, no condemnation or criticism has yet been made by any Conservative Member of this House or of Westminster City Council consequent upon the judgement of the High Court of 19th December 1997, that Dame Shirley Porter and Councillor David Weeks (formerly Lead and Deputy Leader of Westminster City Council) were guilty of wilful misconduct resulting in a loss to Westminster City Council of ??27,023,376 as a consequence of their illegal homes for votes gerrymandering policy, carried out on behalf of the Conservative Party; also condemns the failure of Westminster City Council to take any steps whatsoever to recover ??27 million now owed to the people of Westminster; notes that Dame Shirley Porter was made a Dame of the British Empire in recognition of her services to local government, but, in view of the court's judgement, considers that she is no longer a fit person to hold this honour; and calls upon the Government to make representation to Her Majesty the Queen to remove from Dame Shirley Porter her DBE.

That this House regrets the failure of the Prime Minister to withdraw his claim that every aspect of a press release on the Prime Minister's record issued by the honourable Member for Holborn and St. Pancras was a falsehood; and notes that despite being given the opportunity to do so he has failed to identify a single inaccuracy, still less a falsehood, in the press release in question.

That this House notes the response made by the Prime Minister to the honourable Member for Glasgow, Shettlestone at Oral Questions on 10th March and his claim that the fieldwork for the System Three poll published on 8th March in the Herald showing 13 per cent. support for the Conservative party was undertaken prior to his visit to Scotland on 18th February; notes, however, in contrast to the Prime Minister's assertion, that the dates for the fieldwork were in fact, 24th February to 3rd March; and calls upon the Prime Minister to correct his mistake at the earliest opportunity.

That this House notes with grave concern that the Right honourable Member for Huntingdon has asked British Telecom to re-site the Hemingford Grey village telephone box despite the fact that the local parish council objects to this, and despite the fact that he has had a 1,126 signature petition demanding that the telephone box remained in its present location; therefore supports the Hemingford Grey Parish Council's request to the Prime Minister to attend their next meeting to explain his actions; and hopes that British Telecom will support the overwhelming views of local residents and withdraw their plans to re-locate this telephone box.

That this House notes the recent statements made by the Prime Minister on Breakfast with Frost in which he expressed regret at having to raise taxes because of the recession after having made pre-election commitments to reduce taxes because of the recession after having made pre-election commitments to reduce taxes and stated 'I did not expect that we would have to put up taxes ... If I had thought that I would have indicated the reverse"; reminds the Prime Minister that the pre-election promises were made at the time when the recession was at least 25 months old and nearing its end, and that in April 1992 the public sector borrowing requirement for 1992-93 was projected by the Treasury at ??30 billion and rising; reminds the Prime Minister that at that time most forecasters estimated that at least half of that ??30 billion deficit was structural, implying that taxes would have to rise by some ??15 billion; and therefore notes that the Prime Minister's statements are in conflict with the economic realities fully known to him before the election and believes that he cannot evade his election promises so glibly.
