To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what plans she has to invite representatives of the Jain community to attend memorial events to mark Remembrance Day; and if she will make a statement.
- Answer
-
There are no plans at present to make any changes to the representative attendance at the Remembrance Sunday Cenotaph service.

The wreath laid by Her Majesty The Queen is done so on behalf of the whole nation, and is dedicated to all those who have suffered and died in war.
