Motion text
That this House commemorates the vital importance of slate quarrying for the history and heritage of Wales; notes that people in Wales have been quarrying slate for over 1,800 years, to build the Roman fort in Segontium in Caernarfon as well as Conwy Castle in the 13th century, before producing over four-fifths of all British slate during the 1870s; and acknowledges that Welsh slate is particularly important to North Wales, where the slate landscape was awarded the coveted status of a UNESCO World Heritage Site in July 2021.
