Bilingual Rail Announcements
EDM number 1924 in 2006-07, proposed by Chris Bryant on 16/07/2007.
That this House notes that the announcements at all railway stations in Wales are made in Welsh first and then in English; wholly supports the policy of bilingual announcements; but believes that it would be far more sensible and far more convenient for passengers, whether regular commuters or local visitors, if announcements at each station were made first in the language used by the majority of the local population.
This motion has been signed by a total of 10 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
