CONTINUING WORK OF DANIEL BARENBOIM AND THE LATE EDWARD SAID

Early day motion 224, tabled 30 November 2004 by Baroness Tonge (Liberal Democrat). Signed by 74 members.

That this House congratulates Daniel Barenboim, Israeli conductor, on is determination to continue the work of the charitable foundation which he founded with the late Edward Said, his new initiative in opening a kindergarten in Ramallah for four to five year olds to attend music classes and his determination to forge links between Israeli and Palestinian children; and hopes that the Israeli Government and the newly elected Palestinian President follow his example to encourage peaceful co-operation between Israel and Palestine.

Signatures by party: Liberal Democrat 39, Labour 28, Scottish National Party 5, Conservative 1, Plaid Cymru 1.
