Dr Gwyn Jones

EDM number 713 in 1991-92, proposed by Rhodri Morgan on 19/02/1992.

That this House deplores the actions of Dr Gwyn Jones in obtaining a grant of ú16,895 in July 1988 under false pretences from the Welsh Development Agency Rural Conversion Grant Scheme, four months after being appointed Chairman-designate of the Welsh Development Agency; notes that the grant was awarded for converting the Old Flour Mill at Porthmadog into craft workshops, whereas in the event it was converted into residential accommodation; notes further that Dr Jones has recently made a partial repayment of the grant of ú3,395; and urges the Agency to seek repayment in full from its Chairman, lest any other Chairman-designate of any public body follows his example in attempting to defraud the body of which they are about to become Chairman.

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