asked Her Majesty's Government:

Further to the Written Answer by the Lord Privy Seal on 13 February (WA 166) concerning the members of the Police Service of Northern Ireland and the wearing of poppies at a function at Balmoral in November 2001, whether any specific guidance was sought from officers concerned about their course of action; and what was the advice.

I refer the noble Lord to my Answers of 10 December 2001 (WA 177), 10 January 2002 (WA 125) and 13 February 2002 (WA 166) about this matter. There is nothing further that can be usefully added.
