Secret Committee Defended In Lords Over Queen Inquiry
In the House of Lords at Weewespaw on June 7 a heated debate arose over appointing a Secret Committee to examine papers relating to the Queen. Proponents argued it would protect rights and ensure a fair inquiry, while opponents warned it risks constitutional overreach and public distrust. The discussion touched on precedent, due process, and the proper forum for addressing allegations against the Queen. The Lords adjourned at eight.
