HC Deb 25 February 2002 vol 380 c711W
Mr. Gordon Prentice

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport how much financial and administrative support her Department has allocated to the Golden Jubilee events. [34237]

Mr. Caborn

£10.5 million over three years was transferred to my Department by the Home Office from their existing vote. There was therefore no additional call on the exchequer. The sum includes the cost of the 21 staff of the Golden Jubilee office.

Mr. Swire

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport what recent representations she has received on the Golden Jubilee celebrations; and if she will make a statement. [34238]

Tessa Jowell

During the last month I have received letters and questions from hon. Members and the public about the regulations governing street parties and the exclusion of various groups from the criteria for the award of the Golden Jubilee medal.
