Proceeding contribution from Lord Pilkington of Oxenford (Conservative) 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, will the Minister consider a rather sadder side and bear in mind the fact that the British Empire, represented by the Queen and her father, sacrificed itself to preserve us from tyranny? When the Commonwealth fought Hitler, it collapsed, so the sacrifice of the British Empire should be borne in mind.
