Lord Cormack Excerpts

Monday 11th March 2019 Lords Chamber

[Viscount Younger of Leckie]

I hope my own memory serves me right, but music goes further than that. The noble Lord makes some very good points, because music impacts beneficially on mental health, where there are issues in areas of high deprivation in particular. We all know that Gareth Malone, who springs to mind, has done a lot of very good work in this area.

[Lord Cormack (Con)]

May I remind my noble friend of the enormous contribution made to musical education by the cathedrals of this country?

[Viscount Younger of Leckie]

This has certainly cropped up before; my noble friend often mentions one in particular. That is certainly noted.
