HL Deb 02 December 2004 vol 667 c14WA
Lord Roberts of Llandudno

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will support the nomination of the Llangollen International Music Eisteddfod for the Nobel Peace Prize. [HL69]

Lord Evans of Temple Guiting

The Norwegian Nobel Committee asks that those submitting nominations should not publish their proposals. It would, therefore, not be appropriate for the Government to express a view on any individual nomination.

I am, though, pleased to have this opportunity of acknowledging the valuable work done by the Llangollen International Eisteddfod, over more than half a century, in fostering world-wide cultural links through a shared love of music.
