Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Pauline Latham (Conservative). It was answered by Sajid Javid (Conservative) on Thursday, 1 May 2014 on behalf of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport.


First World War Commemorations

Question

What steps he is taking to ensure that a cultural programme forms part of the First World War commemorations.

Answer

Culture has always been absolutely central to how we understand and try to make sense of the first world war and, in the same way, it will be central to the centenary commemorations. The 14-18 NOW programme will deliver a UK-wide programme of cultural events in 2014, 2016 and 2018. It will inspire people of all ages, and from all backgrounds, to take part in the centenary.
