Jim Shannon – 2014 Parliamentary Question to the Ministry of Defence

The below Parliamentary question was asked by Jim Shannon on 2014-06-17.

To ask the Secretary of State for Defence, what plans his Department has to hold further D-Day commemorations.

Anna Soubry

Following the very successful commemorations to mark this year’s 70th anniversary of D Day we will be discussing with the Normandy Veterans Association how we might approach future commemorations once the Association disbands later this year. We are sure that veterans will continue to return annually as long as they are able and that particular plans will again be made as the 75th anniversary, another significant milestone, approaches.
