Oral answer to question provided on Thursday, 2 April 2009 in the House of Lords, by Lord Bach (Labour).


Constitution: Royal Marriage and Succession

Answer

My Lords, I am certainly not going into the question of what Commonwealth countries may or may not have said on this issue; that would be quite inappropriate and wrong. As I understand it, discussions have started and are continuing.

This is an answer to the Oral question asked on Thursday, 2 April 2009 by Lord Dubs (Labour).

Question
My Lords, my noble friend mentioned the difficulty of this complex issue and consulting the Commonwealth, but have the Government started that consultation? Also, could he mention one Commonwealth country that would be against these proposals?
