To ask the Prime Minister whether he plans to attend the Normandy Veterans' 60th Anniversary Service at St. Paul's Cathedral. [149930]

The Prime Minister

The commemorative service to mark the 60th Anniversary of the Normandy Landings is being organised by the Normandy Veterans Association and is due to take place on 20 October 2004. The Government will be providing assistance for this service and are likely to be represented. Precise arrangements have yet to be finalised.

Her Majesty the Queen and I have accepted President Chirac's invitation to lead the United Kingdom's participation in the commemorations in France in June.
