Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Alan Williams (Labour), on Monday, 5 March 1990, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 25 members in total.


Secretary of State for Wales

That this House thinks that Wales should not be burdened with a Secretary of State who, as a result of his announcement of his intention to resign at some unspecified future date, is limited in his ability to make decisions which bind his successor; points out that this would be an intolerable situation in any Department, but is especially so in a Department with such wide-ranging responsibilities; and calls upon the Prime Minister to end this Whitehall farce by immediately appointing his successor.
