Parliamentary Reporting And Ian Hernon

EDM number 2390 in 2010-12, proposed by Louise Ellman on 07/11/2011.
Categorised under the topics of Broadcasting and Parliament.

That this House is concerned at the decision by Trinity Mirror North West to close its Westminster operation and the impact this will have on daily coverage of Parliamentary and constituency issues, the effect of which will result in making Ian Hernon, the most experienced lobby correspondent in Parliament, with 33 years of continuous service, the last 11 for the Liverpool Daily Post and Echo, redundant; recognises his reputation for straightforward reportage and political analysis; and is concerned that this could result in a diminution of Parliamentary reporting.

This motion has been signed by a total of 33 MPs.
