The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what discussions she has had with Cabinet colleagues on the promotion of UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Wales.

Answered by Anna McMorrin

I was delighted to see the announcement that Aberystwyth has become Wales’ first UNESCO City of Literature and first UNESCO Creative City.

Our Welsh culture and heritage are a source of great pride, and would like to congratulate Aberystwyth on being recognised, as Wales continues to grow its UNESCO presence internationally.
