Breast Surgery Unit - LLandudno
Mon 1st Oct 2007
This centre is under threat of closure. If it goes the Female Surgical Ward at Llandudno Hospital is almost certain to go. Liberal Democrats value this Centre and are joining with others in urging the authorities to think again. What are our Labour M.P. and our Plaid Cymru A.M. doing to safeguard this service?

2,500 Post Offices To Go
Fri 6th Jul 2007
The Welsh Assembly Elections were held on May 3rd. Not a hint of further Post Office closures - until a week later when it was announced that a further 2,500 Post Offices were to go. The Assembly result might have been very different if this announcement had been made a week earlier - the timing brings politics into disrepute!

| Quotes of the Week |
|
"Liberalism in Britain has lost a great champion, the Liberal Democrats, a great advocate and our public life, a great servant. "
Lord Paddy Ashdown
In memory of Lord Richard Holme, who died on 5 May
"If the Tories want to claim that they are going to cut corporation tax, they have to come clean about how they are going to pay for it. Cutting the main rate of corporation tax to 25% will cost more than £5bn a year. If David Cameron is to have a hope of sounding credible he must state clearly where the money will come from. Otherwise this will be seen as yet another unfunded tax cut. "
