§ Lord Lairdasked Her Majesty's Government:
What plans they have, or may have, to celebrate the 200th anniversary of the naval victory of Trafalgar in 2005. [HL4736]
§ Lord BachThe Ministry of Defence is working closely with a number of organisations to develop the Royal Navy's plans for the commemoration of the Battle of Trafalgar in 2005. Led by the Official Nelson Commemoration Committee, which brings together the interests of a wide range of maritime museums and associations connected with the Nelson heritage, a national and international programme of cultural and commemorative events is being discussed, among which a number of events involving the Royal Navy are being considered but at this stage it is too early to be precise.
