David Hughes, Former Editor Of The Western Mail

EDM number 642 in 1993-94, proposed by Alex Carlile on 21/02/1994.

That this House regrets the departure of David Hughes from the Western Mail, a newspaper he edited with distinction; notes the Western Mail's tradition of providing full coverage of Parliamentary events affecting Wales, including Welsh Questions, the Welsh Grand Committee and the Welsh Affairs Select Committee; and hopes that the change of editor will not lead to a departure from this tradition, a move downmarket or a reduction in the Western Mail's Welsh identity.

This motion has been signed by a total of 22 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
