PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
Assault on the Father of the House (19 February 1990)

Motion Details

That this House deplores the cowardly and vicious assault upon the Right honourable Member for Castlepoint by pro-abortion demonstrators as he left the Royal Albert Hall following a speech to 3,000 Christians about the rights of the unborn child; salutes his steadfastness and personal courage; commends the singular commitment of the Father of the House to the cause of human rights; and thanks him for his moral leadership.
