Debate between Andrew Rosindell and Hugh Robertson

Thursday 20th June 2013 Commons Chamber

[Hugh Robertson]

[Andrew Rosindell (Romford) (Con)]

May I congratulate the Secretary of State on at long last ensuring that all 21 flags of the British overseas territories and Crown dependencies were flown from Parliament square last week for the Trooping of the Colour? However, will she explain to the House why, for the state opening of Parliament, there were 21 empty flagpoles with no Union flags flying for the arrival of Her Majesty the Queen?

[Andrew Rosindell (Romford) (Con)]
