Establishment Of A Daily Newspaper In Welsh (EDM1162)

Establishment Of A Daily Newspaper In Welsh

EDM number 1162 in 2005-06, proposed by Hywel Williams on 30/11/2005.

That this House concurs with the view expressed in 2003 by the Committee of Experts monitoring UK implementations of the Council of Europe's Charter for Regional or Minority Languages that the lack of daily news in printed form in Welsh is an anomaly when compared with other regional or minority languages in Europe; welcomes plans to establish a daily newspaper in Welsh as an important contribution to democracy in Wales; notes the return of the Committee of Experts in December; and calls on the Government and devolved administration to take all possible steps to facilitate the establishment of a daily newspaper in Welsh.

This motion has been signed by a total of 34 MPs.
