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

I understand the point. Time will tell, I guess, but one of my fears is that the Bill advances that agenda. I understand the argument that, if we are to do this, now is a good time. The hon. Member for North Southwark and Bermondsey (Simon Hughes) made that very point when introducing a similar Bill. He said that his Bill would not affect the succession for the next two generations and so had no implications for any individual—no one would be blocked and it would not be perceived to be an attack on any individual. None the less, I fear the implications.
