Royal Marriages and Succession to the Crown (Prevention of Discrimination) Bill

Is the hon. Gentleman aware that not long ago I referred the case of Lady Louise and her brother to the Equality and Human Rights Commission, the order of succession having been reversed when the younger brother was born?

Two weeks later, they published the exact opposite and resiled from that position.
