- Question
- What plans his Department has to mark the 300th anniversary of the Act of Union in 2007.
- Answer
-
We have already indicated our intention to mark this important anniversary. As my right hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer announced on 15 June 2006, the Royal Mint will issue a commemorative coin. The Chancellor and I will launch the coin at a special event in January. Among other commemorative activities, I am pleased to know that plans are also being made to mount an exhibition in both the House of Lords and the Scottish Parliament in Edinburgh.
