HC Deb 05 March 1996 vol 273 c169W
Mr. Mackinlay

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what plans Her Majesty's Government have to commemorate the 50th anniversary of Winston Churchill's speech at Fulton, Missouri; and if he will make a statement. [16854]

Sir Nicholas Bonsor

A series of events to mark the 50th anniversary of Sir Winston Churchill's speech is being planned by Westminster college in Fulton, Missouri, in collaboration with the Churchill memorial and the international Churchill societies. Baroness Thatcher will speak at the college before a banquet in the room where Sir Winston gave his address. Her Majesty's Government will be represented by the British consul-general from Chicago. There are no plans for any separate commemorations by Her Majesty's Government.
