[edit] Question

The text of the law refers to "the Queen" specifically - Does this law apply when a King reigns? —Random832 (contribs) 15:49, 25 March 2008 (UTC)

Yes, under the Interpretation Act 1978 any reference to the monarch at the time a law was passed includes the monarch at any later time, whoever it is. Richard75 (talk) 00:44, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
