Government language regarding Scottish colleagues

Tabled by Pete Wishart (Scottish National Party) 4 signatures

The motion

That this House notes recent media reports that Scottish Labour Members of Parliament have been described as idiots by senior colleagues in Westminster; notes confusion as to whether specific Scottish Labour Members were being referred to or if the description was intended to apply to the full Scottish Labour contingent of MPs; and urges the Government to be mindful of its use of language when describing elected Scottish Members, notwithstanding any privately held views.
