<p>Parliament will be managing a year-long programme to celebrate both the Magna Carta
and De Montfort Parliament anniversaries in 2015. The programme will be entitled 'Parliament
in the Making' and as such will include stories from throughout the last 800 years.
Parliament is being advised on the content by the History of Parliament Trust. Through
school resources, exhibitions, cultural projects and special events the significant
moments, movements and individuals who have made a difference on the journey to rights
and representation will be commemorated.</p><p>The programme is still in development
but plans do include an exhibition in Westminster Hall. Using large scale banners
this will chart the evolution of parliamentary democracy which we hope will refer
to the Putney debates and the Peasants' Revolt in the context of the fight for representation
and freedoms.</p>
