Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Llew Smith (Labour), on Tuesday, 13 June 1995, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 11 members in total.
S4C IN WALES
That this House, while supporting the Welsh Channel S4C, nevertheless recognises that it does not cater for the vast majority of people in Wales, whose only language is English; and therefore calls upon the Secretary of State for Wales to ensure that the English-speaking majority has the opportunity to view Channel 4 and thus ensure freedom of choice for the whole Wales.
