The BBC report that the Prime Minister and advisors to Her Majesty The Queen have met to consider whether they would endorse reform of Britain’s laws of succession to the throne, which were decided by the 1701 Act of Settlement. Lib Dem MP Dr. Evan Harris has tabled a Private Member’s Bill on the subject, aimed at ending discrimination against women and Roman Catholics in the hereditary succession. Could this mean that Evan’s bill will meet a better fate that David Heath’s bill?
UPDATE: It seems not. The government are not backing Evan’s bill.
