Dual Mandate Of The Secretary Of State And First Minister For Wales
EDM number 669 in 1998-99, proposed by Eric Pickles on 19/05/1999.
That this House deplores the fact that the Right honourable Member for Cardiff South and Penarth is being allowed to hold simultaneously the posts of Secretary of State for Wales and First Minister for Wales; believes that the existence of such a dual mandate creates an unacceptable conflict of interests; and deplores the fact that the total salary payable to the Right honourable Member for Cardiff South and Penarth as an honourable Member, Member of the National Assembly for Wales, Secretary of State for Wales and First Minister for Wales at ú187,122 is higher than that paid to the Prime Minister and is amongst the highest remuneration of a public servant in the United Kingdom despite the fact that there is nothing the Right honourable Member can do as First Minister for Wales that he cannot do as Secretary of State for Wales.
This motion has been signed by a total of 15 MPs.
