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

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether her Department plans to take forward recommendations from the UK Commission on Covid Commemoration: Final Report, published in March 2023.

We are considering the Commission’s recommendations and have been working with bereaved family groups and other stakeholders, including other government departments and Devolved Governments.

We want to do justice to the hard work of the Commission for Covid Commemoration and carefully consider our response to all of the recommendations.

While we cannot commit to an exact date for publication of the government response, we are working to publish soon.
