NEWS RELEASE For Immediate Use 16 October 2009 Wishart should apologise to armed forces families Conservative Candidate for the British Parliament Peter Lyburn says SNP MP Pete Wishart should apologise for his actions at Westminster this week when he described as "boring" the solemn tributes being paid to 37 British servicemen killed in Afghanistan while Parliament was in recess. "SNP MP Pete Wishart should hang his head in shame and apologise to the families of the servicemen killed in Afghanistan whose names were read out in the British Parliament this week . For Mr Wishart to write on Twitter that the proceedings were boring is a grave insult to those who gave their lives and to those who are putting their lives on the line every day for our country. "Perthshire has a proud and strong bond with the Black Watch Regiment and everyone in Perthshire will be bitterly disappointed with Mr Wishart." ENDS   back to top of page
