Question to the Cabinet Office:
To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, if she will make an assessment of the potential merits of renaming London Heathrow Airport after Her late Majesty Queen Elizabeth II.
Answered by Nick Thomas-Symonds - Paymaster General and Minister for the Cabinet Office
Royal Titles are granted very sparingly and there has always been an emphasis on the rarity of the honour. Permission to use protected Royal titles is given by the Sovereign on the advice of Ministers. The Royal Names Memorialisation Public Guidance is available on gov.uk, which confirms that the full title of Queen Elizabeth II will continue to be closely protected and only be granted for applications with strong Royal connections. Requests should be directed to the Cabinet Office (for requests in England and Northern Ireland), Scottish Government (for requests in Scotland) and Welsh Government (for requests in Wales). The Government also notes that Terminal 2 in Heathrow airport is already named after the late Queen.
