Proceeding contribution from Andrew Rosindell (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 5 January 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Queen's Diamond Jubilee.


Queen's Diamond Jubilee

I commend the Minister and the Government for the splendid announcement—it will be welcomed by people the length and breadth of the United Kingdom. We look forward to a magnificent celebration of the Queen's diamond jubilee in 2012. Will the Minister please bear in mind the importance of involving Her Majesty's subjects in the other 15 realms, particularly Australia, New Zealand and Canada and, of course, in the 21 Crown dependencies and overseas territories? They are all Her Majesty's subjects and it is important that they, too, are included in the celebrations. I remember the silver jubilee of 1977, when the Royal Canadian mounted police were here for the parade in London. Will he consider issuing invitations throughout the Commonwealth to make it a truly magnificent celebration for Her Majesty?
