Conduct Of The Hon Member For Caernarfon And Proxy Voting

EDM number 1067 in 1994-95, proposed by Ann Clwyd on 01/05/1995.

That this House notes that the honourable Member for Caernarfon has attacked in Parliament a South Wales local authority some seven days before the local authority elections; questions how it is that the honourable Member felt able to attack the conduct of Rhondda Borough Council without referring to the fact that on the same day South Wales Police mounted a full scale inquiry into the activities of Plaid Cymru activists in the Cynon Valley who are alleged to have committed serious criminal offences in the form of vote rigging in relation to the use of proxy votes; notes that the police will not be able to complete their inquiries before the election takes place; ponders the possibility that the honourable Member for Caernarfon may have made his attack as a way of deflecting criticism from the activities of Plaid Cymru in the Cynon Valley; and calls on the police to complete an early report so that the accuracy or otherwise of the allegations can be established.

This motion has been signed by a total of 21 MPs.
