The Succession to Peerages and Baronetcies Bill is a proposed law of the #ParliamentOfTheUnitedKingdom introduced on 20 November 2023 by #LordNorthbrook. The Bill proposes to change the law about #hereditaryPeerages and #baronetcies by removing male #primogeniture to allow female heirs to take a hereditary peerage or baronetcy. This is another attempt by a Bill to serve this purpose. If enacted, it would align the hereditary peerage and baronetcy to the same laws of #successionAsTheCrown.

#Primogeniture - The state of being the firstborn of the same parents; seniority by birth among children of the same family.
