Proceeding contribution from Roberta Blackman-Woods (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 25 January 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Heritage.


Heritage

Does my hon. Friend agree that in the north-east we do accept that the Lindisfarne gospels are a national treasure? We would, however, suggest to the hon. Member for East Worthing and Shoreham (Tim Loughton) that there is no reason why a national treasure cannot be located in the north-east, because we want people to travel to the north-east to see those wonderful gospels in the context in which they were written.
