Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, pursuant to the Answer of 28 April 2023 to Question 181520 on King Charles III: Art Works, which company will (a) take and (b) distribute the portrait to schools.

Further details on the producers and/or suppliers associated with the official portrait will be confirmed in due course in coordination with the Royal Household.

Those public authorities who are eligible will be offered the opportunity to request one free framed portrait once the scheme is opened later this year, following the taking and release of the official photographic portraits of His Majesty The King.

The Government considers it is right that public authorities as part of the fabric of our nation, have the opportunity to commemorate this moment and reflect the new era in our history.
