David Jones – 2016 Parliamentary Question to the Department for Culture, Media and Sport

The below Parliamentary question was asked by David Jones on 2016-05-05.

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what representations he has made to the organisers of the Eurovision Song Contest on their refusal to allow the display of the Red Dragon flag at the 2016 contest.

Mr Edward Vaizey

I understand that the governing body of the Eurovision Song Contest has reversed its ban on the display of the Red Dragon flag. We welcome this example of European co-operation, and wish Joe Woolford and Jake Shakeshaft the best of luck on 14 May.
