Urgent Item

Minutes:

Urgent Notice of Motion: Councillors F M GordonThe Presiding Member stated that pursuant to Paragraph 100B (4) (b) of the Local Government Act 1972, he considered that the “Urgent Notice of Motion: Councillors F M Gordon, R C Stewart, W Evans, R Francis-Davies, J E C Harris, D H Hopkins, A S Lewis and C Richards” in relation to Swansea and the EU Referendum should be considered at the meeting as a matter of urgency.

11.

Urgent Notice of Motion: Councillors F M Gordon, R C Stewart, W Evans, R Francis-Davies, J E C Harris, D H Hopkins, A S Lewis and C Richards

Minutes:

Reason for Urgency: There are no other Council Meetings scheduled prior to the EU Referendum that fall outside of the Pre Election Period Protocol.  All of the Political Group Leaders supported the presentation of the Notice of Motion to Council as an urgent item but not necessarily the Motion itself.

 

The following motion was proposed by Councillor F M Gordon and seconded by Councillor R C Stewart.

 

Council Notes:

 

The EU referendum vote will take place on 23rd June.

 

That Wales as a whole is actually a net recipient to the EU, meaning that it gets back more that it puts in - the people of Wales each now receive £70 more from the EU budget than they pay in, equating to a £120 million surplus of spending over contributions.

 

That the Welsh Government estimates that 150,000 jobs in Wales depend on our access to the European Single Market [1].

 

The overwhelming evidence of the financial, social and economic benefits membership of the EU has provided to the UK, Wales and Swansea

 

Council Believes:

 

That the European Union embodies values of peaceful international co-operation, the rule of law, transnational social solidarity, and an economic free trade area which are important to the people of Swansea.

 

That the European Union has produced enormous benefits for the people of Europe and that the UK and Swansea has shared in these benefits.

 

That EU membership and continued access to the free movement of goods, services, and people throughout the European Union is hugely significant to Swansea’s economic and social development as a leading European city, and the future prosperity of the people of Swansea.

 

That as a result of the beliefs stated above it is in the interests of Swansea, Wales, the UK and Europe for Britain to remain in the European Union.

 

Council Resolves:

 

That it is the considered view of the Councillors of the City & County of Swansea that continued membership of the EU is in Britain’s and Swansea’s best interest.

 

That the Leader will write to the Prime Minister, the Leader of HM Opposition, the First Minister and all Swansea’s MPs and AM's explaining why it is important for Swansea that Britain and Wales stays in the EU”.
