Proceeding contribution from Baroness Tonge (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

My Lords, I am sure that we all want to offer our congratulations to the Borough of Greenwich for attaining royal borough status, but why has the London Borough of Richmond never been accorded such status? It has, after all, been the home of many monarchs. Queen Elizabeth I died there, George III went mad there, and most of it was my old constituency.
