Proceeding contribution from Tony Baldry (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
The present Banbury cross was built following public subscription to celebrate the wedding of Princess Victoria, Queen Victoria's eldest daughter. I am sure that the people of a borough such as Banbury will want to mark the Queen's diamond jubilee by some similar but modern, 21st-century memorial and tribute. Will the Minister discuss with his colleague the Lord President of the Council whether he could approach the appropriate officials at the palace to ensure that we have a suitable fundraising logo that could be used locally by the authorities in the respective counties and by the respective lord lieutenants? In that way, there will be some focus in each county that the lord lieutenant could oversee, and it would ensure that fundraising can be organised in a structured way for local tributes for the Queen's diamond jubilee.
