That this House notes the decision by the Welsh Government Cabinet Secretary for the Economy and Infrastructure to create a steering group to explore options for greater collaboration between Wales' heritage organisations, including Amgueddfa Cymru, the National Library of Wales, the Royal Commission and Cadw; agrees that the announcement will have significant implications for the organisations in question; further notes that potential changes will need to be carefully considered before being consulted on with the public and the cultural sector in Wales and beyond; recognises that any outcome must respect the individual identity, integrity and core purpose of each organisation; further agrees that Wales needs strong national institutions to develop an understanding by its citizens of their identity and place in the world; and calls on the House to oppose and to campaign against any plans which undermine the independence of Welsh institutions.
This motion has been signed by a total of 16 MPs.
