Part of the debate – in the Senedd at 3:32 pm on 24 October 2018.
Thank you very much. I’m very pleased to open this debate on the Culture, Welsh Language and Communications Committee’s report, 'Hitting the Right Note', on funding for and access to music education. No matter what our backgrounds, our professions or our allegiances, I’m sure that, at some point, we've all drawn great satisfaction and pride from our country’s status as the land of song. The history of Wales is a history steeped in music. But what if that status was about to change?
