Ownership Of The Herald Newspaper
EDM number 127 in 2002-03, proposed by David Cairns on 19/11/2002.
That this House believes that a strong and diverse media is essential for a healthy and informed democracy; believes therefore that ownership of Scotland's two national broadsheet newspapers should be in different hands; and calls on the Scottish Media Group not to sell The Herald to the owners of The Scotsman.
This motion has been signed by a total of 54 MPs.
