EXPENDITURE OF PUBLIC FUNDS ON SPECIAL ADVISERS

Early day motion 272, tabled 30 January 2001 by Elfyn Llwyd (Plaid Cymru). Signed by 4 members.

That this House notes that special advisers to ministers are paid for from the public purse; demands the highest standards of probity by such advisers; accordingly condemns Adrian McMenamin, employed by the Secretary of State for Wales, for denigrating Plaid Cymru - The Party of Wales' elected members in internet newsgroups; believes that this is a gross misuse of public funds; and demands that the Secretary of State removes Adrian McMenamin from his office forthwith.

Signatures by party: Plaid Cymru 4.
