PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
LABOUR PARTY POLICY ON THE UNION OF THE UNITED KINGDOM (11 June 1995)

Motion Details

That this House notes the findings of a Gallup poll published on Friday 9th June on Labour's proposals for a constitutional shake-up of the United Kingdom; welcomes the fact that 56 per cent. of all voters feel that the creation of assemblies for Scotland, Wales and the English regions would weaken national unity, with only 21 per cent. seeing Labour's plans as likely to strengthen the United Kingdom; further notes that 50 per cent. of Labour voters believe that Labour's plans would weaken the United Kingdom; further welcomes the fact that mistrust is highest amongst the 18 to 34 age group with 59 per cent. opposing Labour's plans for the break-up of the United Kingdom; and believes that these findings are complete vindication of the Prime Minister's strong commitment to the union of the United Kingdom.
