HC Deb 26 April 2001 vol 367 cc399-400W
Mr. Luff

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make it his policy to consult the residents of Worcestershire before offering advice to Her Majesty the Queen on the name for the new hospital currently under construction in Worcester. [158481]

Mr. Straw

In offering advice to Her Majesty The Queen on the use of royal names and titles, I will take into account the views of other appropriate Government Departments, and any other representations received. There is, of course, no guarantee of a successful outcome for any application to use a royal name or title.
