Proceeding contribution from Lord Roberts of Llandudno (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 5 January 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
Queen's Diamond Jubilee
However, I shall speak for my friends here. Would it not be a great opportunity for St David’s Day to be recognised as an official bank holiday in celebration of the Diamond Jubilee? Also, I noted that there was little mention of Parliament. How are we, as a Parliament, going to celebrate? Will it not be an opportunity to have some sort of link between Parliament and the monarchy—an historical pageant even? Perhaps the Minister will consider setting up a working group to see how we in Parliament can celebrate this occasion.
