Future of Pop Festivals to be Investigated by a New Committee

1975 , Ringstead (Norfolk)

Cat no. 206804

Anglia Television on a parliamentary committee set up by Lord Melchett.

Anglia Television correspondent Greg Barnes interviews young Norfolk peer Lord Melchett, who discusses a new parliamentary committee set up to investigate the future of pop music festivals in Britain. Lord Melchett suggests the problem of drugs at festivals has been reduced by increased policing, whilst sex remains a personal choice. He believes the future of pop festivals lies in commercial, single-day events, and claims that organisers behave very responsibly in the main and are judged largely by the 'self selection' of commercial pressures.

Background Information

The son of the British Steel Corporation Chairman Sir Julian Mond, Peter Mond succeeded to the title of 4th Baron Melchett on the death of his father in 1973. Following Labour's re-election in 1974, he was made a Lord-in-Waiting (House of Lords whip) by Harold Wilson, becoming a Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State in the Department of Industry the following year. When James Callaghan came to office in 1976 he moved to become Minister of State at the Northern Ireland Office, but later announced himself sick of the 'lying game' of Westminster politics, withdrawing from the House of Lords in 1984.
