Stephen has paid tribute to Her Majesty The Queen in the House of Commons.
Speaking about her many visits to Newham, Stephen endorsed the Prime Minister’s view that she had a unique ability to “transcend difference and heal division” evidenced by when she met a group of protesters at the opening of London City Airport in 1987. He noted her comments to the group eased the rancour between the objectors and the airport.
