Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:

To ask the Secretary of State for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, in the context of the 40th anniversary of the liberation of the Falkland Islands, what plans her Department has to celebrate the anniversary of that event.

The Falkland conflict was a significant moment in our country’s history and it is vitally important that those who lost their lives are honoured and remembered.

The Royal British Legion will be marking the 40th anniversary of the Falklands conflict with thousands of veterans, civilians, and bereaved families invited to attend an event at the National Memorial Arboretum on Tuesday 14 June 2022. The all-day event will come together with a service of remembrance followed by a reception.

Commemorations will take place around the country from April 2022.
