Motion· Early Day MotionEDM 797open
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 5 June 2000
That this House notes with the most serious concern the relentless state-sponsored violence in Zimbabwe where blacks and white alike are being savagely murdered almost daily with an apparent impunity; deeply regrets that, following the brutal attack and wounding on Monday 29th May of Mr Nick Syrett, a British diplomat, only a few days later yet another white farmer was murdered; unequivocally condemns the perpetrators of these brutal acts; declares that the Zimbabwean government is ultimately responsible, under international laws, for the protection of the lives and property of all its citizens and other people who legally reside in that country; and supports all measures which Her Majesty's Government has taken, and continues to take, both in concern with other nations and in the United Nations, to facilitate the return to the rule of law and the active promotion of democracy, peace and prosperity in that country; and believes that until such comprehensive change is brought about, no British Government or EU funds should be offered to the government of Zimbabwe.

That this House notes with regret the decision of the Home Office to grant an entry visa to Mr Mike Tyson in light of the widespread speculation tha the American boxer hopes to take part in a boxing match at either Hampden or Parkhead in Glasgow; and urges Glasgow City Council to refuse applications for a licence to organise such a contest at any venue in the City of Glasgow.

United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 17 May 2000
That this House is of the view that the Scottish Football Association and Celtic Football Club should decline any requests, made by a boxing promoter, to stage a boxing match at Hampden or Parkhead involving Mr Mike Tyson, the American boxer who has a history of violent behaviour towards women; notes that significant sums of public money have helped create the national stadium and that it would be both entirely inappropriate and deeply offensive to allow either venue to be used by Mr Tyson and his management team to make substantial financial gain; and therefore calls upon the Home Secretary to reject Mr Tyson's application for a visa which would enable him to travel to Scotland for such an unsavoury event.

That this House commends the members of the Scottish Parliament who supported so overwhelmingly the introduction and first stage of the Abolition of Poindings and Warrant Sales Bill, sponsored by Mr Sheridan MSP, the honourable Member for Dundee East and Mr A McNeil MSP; notes with regret the hostile opposition of Conservative MSPs to this enlightened legislative measure; and looks forward to the day when the Scottish Parliament finally consigns to history the pernicious debt-recovery procedures of poindings and warrant sales.
