Conduct Of The Honourable Member For Neath And The Welsh Dragon;amdt. Line 1:

EDM number 1254A1 in 1997-98, proposed by Jackie Lawrence on 28/04/1998.

leave out from 'House' to end and add 'noting that the honourable Member of Neath has expressly and publicly stated that there is no question of replacing the Welsh flag or the Welsh Dragon, but that it will continue to fly proudly for Wales over the National Assembly for Wales and instead that consideration is being given as to what might be an appropriate symbol for the Assembly; also notes that the House of Commons has in the portcullis a symbol which is different from the Union Jack and that the Assembly may or may not wish to have a different smybol from the Welsh flag; regrets that Conservative honourable Members have displayed their total ignorance of both Welsh politics in suggesting that the Welsh Dragon might somehow be banned by the Welsh Office, and the success of excellent, internationally renowned Welsh rock groups like the Manic Street Preachers, Catatonia, 60ft Dolls, Stereophonics and Gorky's Zygotic Mynci; and congratulates the honourable Member for Neath for his acknowledgement that they are indeed part of the modern and dynamic face of the New Wales which is going from strength to strength under the Labour Government.'.

This is a ammendment to 1254.

This motion has been signed by a total of 13 MPs.
