Colonel Thompson, seeing a Member of her Majesty's Government in the House, would ask the 1923 question of which he had given notice yesterday, namely, whether her Majesty's Ministers view as authentic the proclamation purporting to be issued by the King of Hanover on the 5th day of this present month of July, in which he declaren he did not consider the Constitution agreed to by his predecessors, George 4th and William 4th, as binding on him either in form or in substance, and intimated his intention of reverting to the old Constitution without consulting the States-General?
§ Mr. Poulett Thomsoncould give no answer to the question. It was rather a question for the States of Hanover to consider.
Colonel Thompson.: Then, Sir, at an early period of the next Session of Parliament, I shall move for leave to bring in a Bill to declare that in the existing circumstances of the Crown, no foreign prince or potentate ought to have any jurisdiction, power, superiority pre-eminence, authority, or succession, within this realmorany of the Queen's dominions; and to vest the succession, in the event of the demise of her Majesty, in Prince George of Cambridge, and his heirs.
