  • Harry Cohen (Leyton & Wanstead)

  • Jeremy Corbyn (Islington North)

  • Mark Fisher (Stoke-on-Trent Central)

  • Roger Godsiff (Birmingham Sparkbrook & Small Heath)

  • Glenda Jackson (Hampstead & Highgate)

  • John McDonnell (Hayes & Harlington)

  • Alan Simpson (Nottingham South)

  • Sir Peter Soulsby (Leicester South)

  • Dr Gavin Strang (Edinburgh East)

  • Robert Wareing (Liverpool West Derby)

  • Mike Wood (Batley & Spen)

    Former Labour minister Clare Short, who was sitting on the opposition benches for the first time as an independent since resigning from the party earlier this month, also backed the inquiry.
