Proceeding contribution from Andy Slaughter (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 27 March 2009. It occurred during Debate on bill on Royal Marriages and Succession to the Crown (Prevention of Discrimination) Bill.
Royal Marriages and Succession to the Crown (Prevention of Discrimination) Bill
I am listening intently to my hon. Friend and neighbour, and I do not wish to drop him in it, but while I was looking up this matter on the BBC website today, the following story came up:""Stephen Pound MP, one of several Labour backbenchers who support the aims of Republic, told the BBC News website"" that whereas""the Queen had 'played a blinder'…'When the present Queen, God bless her, dies I think the Royal Family will implode in on itself anyway'"." There seem to be some intimations of the gunpowder plot.
