Historic Cathedrals

Lord Foulkes of Cumnock Excerpts

Monday 14th May 2018 Lords Chamber

[Lord Ashton of Hyde]

I agree with the noble Lord. When I visited Hereford a couple of weeks ago, I went to see the stonemasons’ workshop, which was taking on apprentices who were doing exactly that. It was a very good thing.

[Lord Foulkes of Cumnock (Lab)]

My Lords, I, too, welcome support of any kind from the Government for English cathedrals of any denomination. But, given recent threats from down the other end of this building, what is the Minister going to do to ensure the preservation of other great national treasures such as the noble Lord, Lord Cormack?

[Noble Lords]

Oh!
