"The Parliament is due to debate the Act of Settlement on Thursday 16 December, on an SNP motion. This Act is part of a web of constitutional legislation which ensures that the Crown, and the line of succession, remains the preserve of those of a Protestant faith. In particular, no Catholic, nor anyone marrying a Catholic, can succeed to the Crown or remain as Sovereign. This Research Paper briefly outlines the relevant constitutional history and legislation, north and south of the border, and the current debate on the effect and possible future of this legislation. The issue of the Crown, including the succession to the Crown, is expressly made are served matter by the Scotland Act 1998. This means that the Parliament cannot make valid law in this area."
