Succession to the Crown Bill

Debate between Michael Ellis and Paul Flynn

Monday 28th January 2013 Commons Chamber

[Michael Ellis]

May I suggest that he is wholly and unavowedly in error and that in fact the monarchy has done much in the last 100 years and more to act as a pillar in the protection of democracy?

[Paul Flynn]
