Three members of Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg - Jamie Bevan, Colin Nosworthy and Bethan Williams - have interrupted proceedings at the House of Commons during a debate on the Public Bodies Bill which if passed will have a direct effect on the future of S4C the Welsh language television Channel.

As they were being led out of the chamber Bethan Williams, Chair of Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg said:

"The discussions regarding the future of S4C have been conducted behind closed doors and in a very undemocratic fashion which has excluded the people of Wales. The whole process has proved once and for all that the powers for broadcasting should be devolved to Wales.

"In a meeting at Aberystwyth next Saturday Cymdeithas yr Iaith Gymraeg will have a full and open discussion on what their next steps will be in this campaign."
