Loyalty on party agenda
By

in Wellington
The first meeting of the Labour Party Council in the new year, scheduled for February, will consider the loyalty of some members of Parliament. Ms Ruth Dyson, the party’s president, said there had been suggestions from some party members that Mr Roger Douglas and Mr Richard Prebble be suspended because of their disloyalty to the Prime Minister.
No councillors or members of Parliament had been associated with
those suggestions. “We will consider Roger Douglas’s loyalty then if it is still an issue, but I hope it won’t be,” she said. The council would also consider the letter written by the Left-wing member of Parliament and former party president, Mr Jim Anderton, on his bar from the Labour caucus because of his abstention from voting on the Bank of New Zealand legislation.
“I hope that won’t be an issue then either,” Ms Dyson said.
