RT HON MEMBER FOR BIRMINGHAM LADYWOOD

Early day motion 1193, tabled 12 May 2003 by Simon Thomas (Plaid Cymru). Signed by 12 members.

That this House congratulates the Right honourable Member for Birmingham Ladywood on her conduct as Secretary of State for International Development; believes that she achieved considerable success in that post; supports strongly the work she undertook together with the Chancellor of the Exchequer to relieve the indebtedness of the poorest countries; urges the Cabinet to continue her good work; but is dismayed that there is no longer a Cabinet minister answerable to the Commons for this vital issue.

Signatures by party: Labour 6, Scottish National Party 3, Liberal Democrat 2, Plaid Cymru 1.
