Conduct Of The Government And The Welsh Nationalist Party

EDM number 1558 in 1992-93, proposed by Rhodri Morgan on 09/03/1993.

That this House expresses its utter contempt for the failed tactics of backstairs collusion between government business managers and the Secretary of State for Wales on the one hand and the four Welsh Nationalist honourable Members on the other, to exchange those four votes in support of the losing government side in the division lobby on 8th March in return for the promise of one Welsh Nationalist local councillor among the Welsh section of the United Kingdom delegation to the Committee of the European Regions plus an ill-defined forum to which that Welsh section of the United Kingdom delegation to that Committee could report back, thereby creating in parallel with the Secretary of State's proposed new Welsh Economic Council a new Welsh Euro Forum, in the apparent but groundless belief that two new talking shops equals one new Welsh Assembly democratically elected, which all Welsh Nationalist voters and supporters previously thought that party stood for.

This motion has been signed by a total of 63 MPs.
