10Notices of Motions to Council
(a)from Bailie Dr Christopher Mason

"(1) The Council considers that a pre-emptive attack on Iraq is neither necessary nor justified and that it would produce incalculable risks to international peace and stability;

The Council further considers that British participation in such an attack would be likely to have seriously damaging effects on Glasgow's social and economic welfare and to endanger the safety of its citizens;

(2) The Council accordingly calls upon Her Majesty's Government not to commit British forces to a pre-emptive attack on Iraq;

(3) The Council instructs the Chief Executive

(a) to make copies of this resolution available at Council premises throughout the city in a form that will allow Glasgow citizens of voting age to signify whether they support or oppose the resolution;

(b) to report to the Policy and Resources Committee the number of citizens who have signified their support for or opposition to the resolution;

(c) to take such measures as he deems necessary to publicise the Council's action in this matter; and


(d) to defray costs incurred in carrying out this instruction from Council funds; and

(4) Council further instructs the Chief Executive to write to all other Principal Local Authorities in the United Kingdom, informing them of the Council's action in this matter and asking them whether they will consider taking similar action."
(b)from Councillor John Mason

"Council deplores the outcome of the Cities Review which appears to have resulted in only a small additional amount of money for Glasgow. A much more fundamental review of how the city is financed was required and there has certainly been adequate time for this to be carried out. Therefore, Council commits itself to fighting for a better long term deal for Glasgow in the face of a Labour/LibDem Executive which appears to have little sympathy for this city and its problems."
