PARLIAMENTARY EARLY DAY MOTION
PROFESSOR GEOFFREY SAMPSON (12 May 2002)
Motion Details
That this House condemns the statements in the article There's Nothing Wrong with Racism on the website of Professor Geoffrey Sampson, Conservative councillor on Wealdon District Council; considers as indefensible and deeply offensive his comments 'Negroes tend to be less bright than whites, multi-culturalism is just wicked madness' and other comments about ethnic minorities, asylum seekers and women; and calls on the Right honourable Member for Chingford to condemn these statements and expel Professor Sampson from the Conservative Party.
