Proceeding contribution from Lord Barker of Battle (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 was in the Mall with my son for the golden jubilee celebrations, which were terrific. For the diamond jubilee, will the Minister consider an even more enhanced role for our armed services? There is a particular bond between the Queen and the armed services, and we are now dependent on them and in their debt more than at any other point during her reign. If all the regiments could be recognised—and perhaps an invitation issued to all those who marched in her coronation parade or their successor organisations—it would be great. A particular focus on the armed forces for the diamond jubilee would be very welcome.
