Motion Text

That this House considers that no further parliamentary time should be allocated to the City of London (Ward Elections) Bill and that the Government should withdraw its support for the bill given the fact that under this proposed legislation many of the companies implicated in laundering terrorist funds via the City of London's financial institutions will gain a vote in the running of the City Corporation and a say in the strategic policymaking for London.
