Of course, I can assure the hon. Gentleman that the Proms will have a role to play, as will all cultural organisations. He will be encouraged, as I am, that we have long said that we want to make an international Shakespeare festival part of our Olympic celebrations. This is a time when all the best bits of our national heritage can be available for the whole world to see, and I absolutely include the Proms in that.
