FUTURE OF SIANEL PEDWAR CYMRU (S4C)

Early day motion 743, tabled 15 September 2010 by Wayne David (Labour). Signed by 29 members.

That this House recognises the vital role Sianel Pedwar Cymru (S4C) has played in promoting and strengthening the Welsh language; acknowledges that the Welsh language is a vital part of Welsh identity and culture; welcomes the recent growth in creative media industries in Wales; expresses concern that if there were a significant reduction to the budget of S4C there would be irreparable harm caused to S4C and the Welsh language; and urges the Government to recognise the value of S4C and to ensure that adequate levels of funding are maintained.
