HC Deb 24 November 1969 vol 792 c21W
Mr. Gwynfor Evans

asked the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what proportion of the £2+ million which are being spent on the British Pavilion in Expo 70 at Osaka will be devoted to showing the achievements of Wales and Welsh industry; and in what way this will be done.

Mr. Luard

The introduction to the British Pavilion will illustrate the landscape, people and daily life of Wales, England, Scotland and Northern Ireland together with their flags and floral emblems. Other displays will include the atomic power stations at Wylfa and Trawsfyndd, films about the construction of the Severn Bridge and about the Welsh-designed "sea Mantis". There will also be a number of items about life in Wales.

The cultural events planned in connection with British participation include performances by the Cardiff Polyphonic Choir, both on the United Kingdom National Day and on other occasions.

I regret that information on the exact proportion of the expenditure which relates to Wales is not readily available and the excessive cost of undertaking such a calculation would not be justified.
