JOB LOSSES AT ARCHANT NEWSPAPERS

Early day motion 1038, tabled 10 March 2009 by John McDonnell (Labour). Signed by 21 members.

That this House is dismayed at the blatant attack on reporters at Archant Newspapers, who may reach 54 in number, whose jobs are now threatened; and believes that the management of Archant Newspapers should examine their own practices, both ethical and financial, in the production of Archant Newspapers including the Eastern Daily Press and Evening News before turning to methods which smack of old newspaper practices.

Signatures by party: Labour 16, Liberal Democrat 3, Independent 1, Plaid Cymru 1.
