My hon. Friend makes his point with customary eloquence. I would always hope and expect that constitutional change in a Commonwealth country would involve giving its people the opportunity to express a view. I commend my hon. Friend on the work that he does on Commonwealth matters. We derive enormous...

That this House believes that the prime duty of the Head of State is to intervene when Prime Ministers act in their own interests contrary to the interests of the country; and further believes that appointing an excessive number of peers to gain a political advantage would be an abuse that should be blocked by the monarch.

When can we debate whether the practice of commanding one person to kneel before another is demeaning to both, inconsistent with the concept of a modern monarchy and a medieval relic that should have been abandoned centuries ago?

In many respects, I am delighted that the new Labour leader and those who supported him are so dismissive of the traditions of this country. The reason I am delighted is that it means the people of this country who value those traditions, value our monarch and value our history...

That this House affirms its loyalty to Her Majesty the Queen as her glorious reign now stands without equal; expresses its gratitude for the sure and steadfast monarchy this country and all the other Commonwealth realms have enjoyed; remembers Her late father, His Majesty King George VI, and the stalwart service he did the country and Commonwealth during the war, at such cost to His own health; and thanks Her Majesty for faithfully carrying out her duties all the length of Her reign, God save the Queen.

To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the Crown Estate is the property of the reigning monarch; whether a majority of the income from the Estate is used in the interest of taxpayers; and what is the amount by which taxpayers benefited in the tax year 2014–15.
To ask Her Majesty’s Government whether the Crown Estate is the property of the reigning monarch; whether a majority of the income from the Estate is used in the interest of taxpayers; and what is the amount by which taxpayers benefited in the tax year 2014–15.
The Crown Estate belongs to the reigning monarch 'in right of The Crown', that is, it is owned by the monarch for the duration of their reign, by virtue of their accession to the throne. But it is not the private property of the monarch - it cannot be sold by the monarch, nor do revenues from it belong to the monarch. The revenue surplus from the Estate is paid to the Consolidated fund. For 2014-15, this was £285.1million.
Will my right hon. Friend find time for a debate on Queen Elizabeth II becoming our longest reigning monarch on 9 September, the value of the monarchy, and how we might celebrate these events?

I very much share the sentiments of my hon. Friend. We are, as a nation, immensely proud of our Queen. I have had the enormous honour, first as
Lord Chancellor and now as Lord President of the Council, of working with the Queen over the past three years. She is...

That this House believes that the right of the British taxpayer to know what their money is being spent on should be prioritised over commercial confidentiality or the confidentiality of the Royal Family; further believes that commercial confidentiality should not apply to contracts with for-profit companies to supply public services, such as health services, that are paid for with public money; calls for all such publicly-funded contracts to be automatically placed in the public domain and to be subject to freedom of information legislation; believes that the Supreme Court was correct to order the publication of correspondence between HRH the Prince of Wales and the Government; is extremely concerned at the undemocratic and unaccountable decision by the Government that future correspondence between members of the Royal Family and the Government should be excluded from freedom of information legislation; believes that institutions, including the Royal Family, which are publicly-funded and which exert an influence on Government policy should be publicly accountable; further believes that wealth and power should always be subjected to proper public scrutiny; and calls on the Government to support this principle.

That this House is delighted that the burial ceremony of Richard III will begin on 22 March 2015, ending with his remains being re-interred on 26 March 2015 in Leicester Cathedral; believes that this event unites the Protestant and Catholic communities of the UK, as his re-interment will be led by both the Archbishop of Canterbury and the Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster; thanks the Rt Rev Tim Stevens, Bishop of Leicester, for such incredible work in making these events possible; and notes that this will be a historic day for Leicester, and highlight the rich cultural history of the city.

Further to the answers of 26 February (HL Deb, col 922), 23 June (HL224) and 8 December (HL 3512), all Realms have concluded the necessary processes before implementation with the exception of Australia. All six of the Australian States have now enacted the necessary legislation and the Australian Government has recently introduced the Commonwealth’s Succession to the Crown Bill into the Australian Parliament. Once that legislation has received Royal Assent, the UK Government will then be in a position to make the commencement order for the Act.

The decision to fly Union flags on Government buildings at half-mast following the death of a democratically elected head of state, or of other heads of state, is made on a case by case basis. I refer the noble Lord to the answer I gave on 5 February, to Lord Gardiner’s question HL4556, that in line with long-standing arrangements, the Union Flag is flown at half-mast on Government buildings following the death of foreign monarchs. This definition applies to current ruling Monarchs only.
