LIVERPOOL'S APOLOGY FOR THE DROWNING OF THE TRYWERYN VALLEY

Early day motion 818, tabled 20 October 2005 by Mark Williams (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 22 members.

That this House wholeheartedly welcomes the apology made by Liverpool City Council for the drowning nearly 50 years ago of the Tryweryn Valley; notes that the legislation to allow the flooding was not supported by any Welsh honourable Members; and recognises that this move by Liverpool City Council could open a new era of co-operation between Merseyside and Wales, especially North Wales, that could be of real benefit to both areas.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 10, Labour 9, DUP 3.
