The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, what steps she is taking to promote cultural awareness of patron saints of the United Kingdom.

Answered by Chris Bryant

DCMS has no such plans, but we know that St David, St Andrew, St Patrick and St George are as well-sewn into the fabric of our national identities as they are inscribed on many of our buildings, including in the mosaics above Central Lobby in the Palace of Westminster.
