Welsh Agriculture Secretary
EDM number 973 in 1998-99, proposed by Nigel Evans on 03/11/1999.
That this House condemns the Welsh Agriculture Secretary, Christine Gwyther, for not resigning after the National Assembly for Wales voted to censure her on 19th October over her incompetent handling of the current crisis in Welsh farming; notes that if such a vote against a member of Her Majesty's Government were to take place in this House, a Minister would be expected to resign immediately; and further notes that on 2nd November the Liberal Democrat and Plaid Cymru Assembly members abstained on a Conservative motion of no confidence in the First Secretary, the honourable member for Cardiff South and Penarth, for his failure to sack Christine Gwyther and replace her with a new Agriculture Secretary, who has the confidence of Welsh farmers and is prepared to fight for their interests.
This motion has been signed by a total of 12 MPs.
