§ Mr. LlwydTo ask the Secretary of State for Wales what was the precise reason for the absence of a Welsh Office Minister from the royal national eisteddfod in 1994; and if he will make a statement.
§ Mr. RichardsIt was with regret that I had to decline the royal national eisteddfod's invitation to attend this year's eisteddfod because of a long-standing personal commitment. I very much look forward to attending the 1995 Colwyn eisteddfod, which will be held in my constituency.
