W B Gurney And Sons

EDM number 484 in 2009-10, proposed by Lindsay Hoyle on 15/12/2009.
Categorised under the topic of Parliament.

That this House acknowledges the excellent service provided by W B Gurney and Sons since 1813 as Official Shorthand Writers to the Houses of Parliament; is concerned that splitting of the Select Committee contract into different tranches may result in poorer quality transcripts and may possibly result in the demise of Gurney's, the oldest parliamentary reporting company in the world; and calls on officials to reflect on the great work carried out by Gurney's before making any permanent changes to the current contract.

This motion has been signed by a total of 54 MPs.
