(asked on 2nd December 2015) - View Source
Question to the Department for Digital, Culture, Media & Sport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, whether he has written to congratulate the organisers of the celebrations to commemorate the tercentenary of the Battle of Preston.
This question was answered on 7th December 2015
The programme of events run by the Harris Museum and Preston City Council to commemorate the last battle on English soil - which received nearly £50,000 of support from the Heritage Lottery Fund, alongside funding from other local groups - has been a huge success. I was delighted to write to the organisers to congratulate them on this excellent series of family events.
