Talk:Accession Declaration Act 1910

Opening Parliament
If King George V refused to open parliament so long as he was obliged to make the declaration in its pre-1910 form, how was parliament able to pass an act amending the oath? Was it in session continuously from a date prior to his father's death? If not, who opened it, so that it could pass the act?John Paul Parks (talk) 22:22, 5 December 2014 (UTC)
 * Yes, Parliament had been in session since February (King Edward dying in May), and passed the act before dissolution in December. The demise of the Crown hadn't caused an automatic dissolution of Parliament since the Reform Act of 1867. -- Psmith (talk) 16:04, 11 December 2014 (UTC)
