Members of All Wales Convention announced

Last Friday saw the announcement of the members of the All Wales Convention Executive Committee.

The Executive Committee has 16 members, plus the Chairman, former British Ambassador to the United Nations Sir Emyr Jones Parry, and is made up as follows:

Four members of the public appointed through an open competition process.
Eight appointed from nominations received from key Welsh organisations.
Four members nominated by the main political parties.

The First Minister said: “We have been seeking a cross section of Welsh life and Welsh opinion who can tap into the views of ordinary Welsh people. I believe we have achieved that balance. I am confident that with the skilful chairing of Sir Emyr Jones Parry, the committee will gel as a group, get around all parts of Wales and ask the big questions about a referendum and what the ordinary people of Wales need to know about the key issues.”
