HISTORIC SITES IN WALES

Early day motion 1840, tabled 19 June 2008 by Lynne Jones (Labour). Signed by 10 members.

That this House welcomes the plans from the Welsh Assembly Government to provide free access to pensioners and children to 28 historic sites in Wales run by Cadw, including Beaumaris, Caernarfon, Caerphilly and Kidwelly castles, Castell Coch and Tintern Abbey; believes that this will complement the highly successful free admissions policy that has applied to Wales' national museums and galleries since 2001; notes that although entry to Blaenafon Ironworks has also been free since Easter, the new sites included in the programme do not reflect Wales' industrial heritage; and urges the Welsh Assembly Government to make provision for the Rhondda Heritage Park Museum to be included in its free admissions policy.

Signatures by party: Labour 7, Liberal Democrat 2, Social Democratic and Labour Party 1.
