Most Wuthering Day organisers congratulated by Prime Minister

* A moment of light relief for the Prime Minister as he congratulates Llangollen's Most Wuthering Day organisers in the Commons.

The Prime Minister has congratulated all those who took part in Llangollen's Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever at Plas Newydd last Saturday. 

The day saw hundreds of red-clad dancers and scores of spectactors gather in the grounds of the historic home of the Ladies of Llangollen to dance the famous sequence from the 1978 Kate Bush hit and raise money for a women's aid charity.

At this lunchtime's Prime Minister's Questions in the House of Commons local MP Becky Gittins took the opportunity to raise the event watched by a TV audience of millions.

The Clwyd East member, who herself joined the dancing throng, said: "I welcome the commitment under the current leadership of the Prime Minister to tackle violence against women and girls and that is one which is shared by many of my constituents.

* Local MP Becky Gittins raises last Saturday's big fundraiser during Prime Minister's Questions today. 

"On Saturday I was in Llangollen for a Welsh Women's Aid fundrasier organised by Moira Gleed and her daughter Rowena, Llangollen's Most Wuthering Day Ever, which saw me joining 230-plus Cathys, learner dancers, all dressed in red, seen in a performance which went around the world. We even had some fans from Japan get in contact.

"Will the Prime Minister join me in recognising the work of Moira Gleed, her daughter Rowena and all of the organisers, volunteers and performers for making this really important event happen?"  

Sir Keir Starmer responded: "I congratulate all those who took part and I'm really glad it got around the world because that is what raises awareness. 

"I thought she was going to ask me to join her in the next dance!"
