Mr. Grylls
asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department on what basis, and under what authority, he invites the leaders of United Kingdom political parties to attend the wreath-laying ceremony at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Day.
Mr. Merlyn Rees
The arrangements for the Remembrance Sunday ceremony at the Cenotaph, including the issue of invitations, are made by the Home Secretary on behalf of Her Majesty's Government. It has been the practice to issue invitations to leaders of parliamentary parties which operate on a United Kingdom basis.
