The Succession to the Crown Bill does not change the rules governing the inheritance of Royal Peerages and titles. It removes two areas of discrimination with regard to the rules of royal succession: the male preference primogeniture and the ban on the heir marrying a Roman Catholic. The Bill also replaces the Royal Marriages Act 1772 with a provision requiring the consent of the monarch to the marriage of any of the six people nearest in line to the Crown.

The Succession to the Crown Bill does not change the requirement for the Monarch to be in communion with the Church of England. However there is nothing in the Bill that would specifically prevent a child born to a member of the Roman Catholic Church who had married into the Royal Family succeeding to the Crown.

I have met with members of the Church of England and the Catholic Church on several occasions to discuss various issues. Both the
Church of England and the Catholic Church have been kept informed at every stage as we have developed the Succession to the Crown Bill.
Can the Deputy Prime Minister assure the House that the Succession to the Crown Bill will give the public confidence that the relationship between Church and state will be unaltered, even if a future monarch should marry a Roman Catholic and the ensuing child is a Catholic?

I can give the hon. Gentleman complete reassurance that the provisions in the Bill will not in any way alter the status of the established Church in this country and the monarch as head of that Church. We have had monarchs who have married Catholics. I think Queen Anne of Denmark was married to James I of Scotland—I may be corrected by our historian, the hon. Member for Rhondda (Chris Bryant), from a sedentary position. There is absolutely nothing in the provisions that will alter the status of the Church in the way feared by the hon. Member for Isle of Wight (Mr Turner).
