Future Of The Observer (EDM1849)

Future Of The Observer

EDM number 1849 in 1992-93, proposed by David Winnick on 26/04/1993.

That this House recognises the importance of The Observer continuing as a separate newspaper and would be opposed to it being sold to a newspaper group which already has a Sunday paper; and therefore believes the best course available in the public interest and to provide a diversity of views within the Press is for the paper to be sold to The Guardian, which does not currently have a Sunday paper.

This motion has been signed by a total of 131 MPs, 1 of these signatures have been withdrawn.
