Engagements

Question: When Feargal Sharkey opened a new music studio in central Wrexham recently, an orderly queue of young people formed to make their bookings. Will my right hon. Friend commend the Department for Culture, Media and Sport and Wrexham borough county youth service on their excellent initiative of opening the studio? Will he urge all hon. Members to open up space in their constituencies for a very loud and open rock music studio, because such studios engage our young people?

Answer: My hon. Friend is absolutely right. I was trying to think back in my memory which band Feargal Sharkey was a member of—the Undertones, am I right? I am sure that the initiative will be absolutely excellent. It is one of the things that enables young people to get fully involved in the joys of music.
