Oral answer to question provided on Thursday, 30 October 2008 in the House of Lords, by Lord Bach (Labour).


Constitution: Monarchy

Answer

My Lords, the Government are not raising any issue about the constitutional monarchy. My first answer could hardly have been shorter or clearer. I appreciate the great work that the noble Lord has done in this area and his expertise in it.

This is an answer to the Oral question asked on Thursday, 30 October 2008 by Lord St John of Fawsley (Conservative).

Question
My Lords, does the Minister agree that these issues about the monarchy are best left for another reign? Would it not be curmudgeonly for this House and, most of all, for the responsible Government to raise questions about the monarchy when we have the most constitutional and Christian monarch in our history?
