Listener Crossword

EDM number 229 in 1997-98, proposed by Peter Robinson on 10/07/1997.

That this House recognises that the Listener Crossword, which appears in The Times newspaper every Saturday, (i) is the most challenging and imaginatively devised cryptic crossword currently published in a national newspaper and (ii) gives much pleasure to thousands of devoted solvers; notes with concern that the Editor of The Times plans to discontinue this historic crossword from September 1997; and urges him to reconsider his decision, thereby ensuring that the Listener Crossword continues to be published well into the next millennium.

This motion has been signed by a total of 2 MPs.
