Proceeding contribution from Lord Mandelson (Labour) in the House of Lords on Tuesday, 5 January 2010. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
Queen's Diamond Jubilee
Yet again, I think that those responsible for considering these matters will have heard the noble Baroness’s suggestion. Royal borough status is purely honorific. It is granted by the sovereign personally as an exceptional mark of royal favour. In case anyone is interested, I should say that it confers absolutely no additional funding or powers whatever on the borough concerned. None the less, it is a very important status and I am sure that due consideration will be given to Richmond, although I cannot lead the noble Baroness to expect an early announcement.
