Secretary Of State For Wales

EDM number 653 in 1989-90, proposed by Alan Williams on 05/03/1990.

That this House thinks that Wales should not be burdened with a Secretary of State who, as a result of his announcement of his intention to resign at some unspecified future date, is limited in his ability to make decisions which bind his successor; points out that this would be an intolerable situation in any Department, but is especially so in a Department with such wide-ranging responsibilities; and calls upon the Prime Minister to end this Whitehall farce by immediately appointing his successor.

This motion has been signed by a total of 24 MPs.
