Bradford East MP, David Ward, has welcomed the news that the Government has received final consent from all the Commonwealth realms to press ahead with a landmark bill to end the centuries-old discrimination against women in line to the British throne.
The legislation will end the principle of male primogeniture, so that men will no longer take precedence over women in line to the throne, and end the bar on anyone in the line of succession marrying a Roman Catholic.
Commenting, David Ward MP said:
"It is about time that such out-dated rules on Royal Succession were changed and I am glad that it is finally happening. We are living in the 21st Century and the rules should reflect that."
