Laws making it an offence for people to say they intend to abolish the monarchy could be dropped under a Labour MP's new plans. A backbench bill proposed in Parliament by Hull MP Kevin McNamara would also end the bar on Roman Catholics succeeding to the British throne. The plans have come under fire from Democratic Unionist leader Ian Paisley, who argued the link between religion and the monarchy had well served the country..... Mr McNamara's bill would also mean MPs would no longer have to take an oath of allegiance to the crown before they take their seats in Parliament.
