SENEDD BUILDING

Early day motion 1340, tabled 10 January 2006 by Paul Flynn (Labour). Signed by 18 members.

That this House hails the architectural jewel that is the Senedd building; applauds the graceful, ingenious simplicity and clarity of its design and the skilled work of architects and craftsmen; is delighted by the original use of the waved deep-eaved ceiling and the powerful symbolism of the structure's transparency; welcomes the inspired use of Welsh slate, steel and oak and the imaginative low-energy and environmentally-benign features including the elimination of air-conditioning with a wind-driven rotating light-well cowling; and believes the Senedd is a proud and beautiful affirmation of the strength of Welsh democracy and independent government.

Signatures by party: Labour 13, Liberal Democrat 3, Plaid Cymru 1, Scottish National Party 1.
