Remembrance Sunday

Volume 455: debated on Tuesday 9 January 2007

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport which delegates from the (a) Commonwealth, (b) the British Overseas Territories and (c) Crown Dependencies will be invited to lay wreaths at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday in 2007. (113679)

Each year, representatives from Commonwealth countries with a high commission in London are invited to lay wreaths at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday. The Foreign Secretary lays a wreath on behalf of the Overseas Territories. Representatives from the Crown Dependencies are not invited to lay wreaths at the Ceremony at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday. Her Majesty the Queen lays her wreath on behalf of the whole nation. There are currently no plans to change these arrangements.
