Wales Bill

Proceeding contribution from Paul Flynn (Labour) in the House of Commons on Monday, 12 September 2016. It occurred during Debate on bills on Wales Bill.

The hon. Gentleman is surely aware of the extraordinary genesis of S4C. If not, I would like to spend an evening with him going over the convoluted actions that took place. We have S4C because Mrs Thatcher was reading Irish history at the time when Gwynfor Evans was promising to fast to death. There was a long and honourable battle, with the sacrifices of young people in Wales, to gain S4C. We cannot complain, as a nation, about the way it has been funded since its genesis.
