Mike German congratulates new party leader Menzies Campbell

12.00.00am GMT Thu 2nd Mar 2006

Following today's victory for Menzies Campbell in the Liberal Democrat leadership election Mike German, Party Leader in the National Assembly for Wales said:

"Menzies brings considerable experience as well as great statesmanship to the leadership. Crucially, he also understands the challenges facing Wales today.

"The nation needs measures to respond to our specific health, economic and cultural needs. Menzies Campbell has given that commitment.

"Menzies knows the issues which affect Wales. He supports reform of the Barnett formula, and a Parliament which puts Wales on a par with Scotland.

"I hope that Menzies will combine his considerable experience with a dynamic and forward-thinking team to lead us on to bigger and better victories as a party. I have already sent him my congratulations.
