An early day motion tabled by Keith Vaz, the MP for Leicester East, has expressed "concern" about alleged racism in the Big Brother house.
The EDM in full:
"That this House views with concern the comments made about Big Brother contestant Shilpa Shetty by other housemates; believes that Big Brother has a role to play in preventing racist behaviour in the Big Brother house; regrets that these comments have been made; and calls on the programme to take urgent action to remind housemates that racist behaviour is unacceptable."
At the time of publication, the EDM had attracted only one other signature from Kelvin Hopkins, the MP for Luton North.
