Succession to the Crown Bill

Proceeding contribution from Lord Elton (Conservative) in the House of Lords on Wednesday, 13 March 2013. It occurred during Debate on bills on Succession to the Crown Bill.

My noble friend has moved on from the point that I wanted to pick up on. He is treating the necessity of getting permission from the Crown to marry as if it were a great disincentive to marry and a great burden for these people to suffer, but they are not going to be forbidden to marry; they are only going to be told that they are not in line for succession to the Crown, and I should think a great relief to many of them that would be.
