Succession to the Crown Bill

Proceeding contribution from Chloe Smith (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 28 January 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Succession to the Crown Bill.

As I understand the amendments tabled by our hon. Friend the Member for North East Somerset, they would technically open the opportunity for a person to convert and provide for that person not to be “for ever” barred. I think it is possible for that to allow confusion over the very same point, including after the moment of succession. I can see that possibility arising through my hon. Friend’s amendments. I regret that that is the case, but I see it as a problem, and I humbly make that argument to the House.
