Proceeding contribution from Lord Harper (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 July 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Act of Settlement.
Act of Settlement
The hon. Gentleman is right to highlight that point. Cardinal O'Brien in Scotland, for example, is much firmer about wanting to move quickly on this. However, this merely highlights the complexity of the debate. There is not even a single clear view within the Catholic Church in these islands. Some very significant Catholics think that the law should be changed, but should not be rushed or done in a way that causes the monarchy difficulty.
