CONDUCT OF THE RIGHT HONOURABLE MEMBER FOR WEST DORSET

That this House demands a full apology from the Shadow Chancellor, the Right honourable Member for West Dorset, for the irresponsible statement he made that Labour had a secret plan to impose 40% capital gains tax on the sale of principal residences; considers that the making of a false statement such as this was a despicable act which constitutes an abuse of his position; and demands that he give his assurance to the House that he will resign forthwith from the Opposition front bench if not sacked by the Leader of the Opposition.
