KEITH LOCKE (Green) Link to this
I seek leave to move a motion without notice and without debate on the situation in Iran. I have consulted with all of the whips, and they are agreeable to this.
Mr SPEAKERLeave is sought for the member to move that motion without debate. Is there any objection? There is no objection.
I move, That this House expresses its support for all Iranian citizens who strive for a free and democratic society, asks the Iranian Government not to use force against peaceful demonstrators, calls for an end to Government restrictions on the media, and supports an impartial examination of the recent Iranian election result in the light of widespread concerns.
