Proceeding contribution from Baroness Brown of Silvertown (Labour) in the House of Commons on Friday, 21 January 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Estates of Deceased Persons (Forfeiture Rule and Law of Succession) Bill.


Estates of Deceased Persons (Forfeiture Rule and Law of Succession) Bill

I have been listening with rapt attention to this modern-day ““Bleak House””, although I am sure the hon. Gentleman will agree that the prose is not quite as eloquent as that of Charles Dickens. Given that the Bill proposes a remedy to the particular difficulties that the hon. Gentleman has highlighted in the cases that he has placed before us, is he not prepared to accept the Bill and allow it fair passage through to its Report stage?
