Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Lord Dodds of Duncairn (Democratic Unionist Party). It was answered on Tuesday, 15 November 2011 on behalf of the Deputy Prime Minister.


Succession to the Throne

Question
May I ask what discussions have taken place with the devolved Administrations on these changes, which affect all parts of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland? If the Deputy Prime Minister has not already held any such discussions, what plans does he have to do so?
Answer

I spoke to the First Minister shortly before the announcement was made at the Commonwealth meeting in Perth. He is also reflecting on whether there should be other, wider changes, but he welcomed this as a significant step, in and of itself.
