The History of Parliament Trust and St James's House Celebrate 300 Year's of Parliament and The Queen's 95th Birthday
The History of Parliament Trust is a research project that is creating a comprehensive account of parliamentary politics in England, then Britain, from their origins in the 13th century. The Trust has published 41 volumes to date – containing more than 20 million words – and is generally regarded as one of the most ambitious, authoritative and well-researched academic projects in British history. The project is funded by the two Houses of Parliament and governed by its trustees, who are mainly Members and Officers of both Houses of Parliament.
St James’s House with the History of Parliament Trust is celebrating the appointment in 1721 of Britain’s first prime minister, Robert Walpole; and with it the start of modern democracy. The History of Parliament Trust has decided to mark the historic milestone with a commemorative book, which will chart more than 300 years of parliamentary leadership, innovation and representative government.
The commemorative album highlights examples of achievement and progress across the social, cultural, politi cal, technological and commercial spheres, and will offer an insight into the major UK government departments. As it outlines their current activities, campaigns and inspirations, it will explore the contributions these departments have made in shaping the Britain of today.
