FABIAN COMMISSION REPORT ON THE MONARCHY

Motion Text

That this House welcomes the report of the Fabian Commission on the Future of the Monarchy published on 15th July; believes that the report contains sensible proposals for necessary change to a key element of the constitution; welcomes the Palace's reported view that 'The report is a useful contribution to the debate on changes to the monarchy. We will be interested in seeing public reaction'; calls for the removal of those restrictions preventing the House debating these proposals; and requests that the Government publish a consultation paper to begin the process of reform of the monarchy.
