Business question from Nigel Evans (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 6 March 2008. It occurred during Business statement on Business of the House.
Business of the House
Is it possible to hold a debate on tourism next week, given that the Minister for Culture, Media and Sport decided on Tuesday to attack one of the great British institutions, the Proms, because not enough people from different backgrounds felt comfortable with it? Why did she stop there? Why did she not also attack Ascot, Wimbledon, the boat race, Henley regatta, Cowes week and so on? The list is endless. The Notting Hill carnival and the Glastonbury festival are not everybody's cup of tea, but all the events together help make Britain one of the greatest cultural centres in the world.
