Question to the Cabinet Office:

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, whether his Department will be taking steps to celebrate the appearance of Gibraltar, Hamilton, Jamestown and Stanley on the list of cities in the United Kingdom, its Crown Dependencies and Overseas Territories published on 29 August 2022.

The creation of new cities, and the publication of the updated list of cities on 29 August, celebrates the rich and diverse communities which make up not only the United Kingdom, but also the Crown Dependencies and British Overseas Territories.

Local communities have often taken the initiative to celebrate their city status, and periodically Ministers and Members of the Royal Family have also visited.
