That this House notes the discovery of a skeleton beneath a car park in Leicester that is believed to be that of Richard III; praises the work of the archaeologists and historians responsible for the find; hopes that DNA evidence will prove the remains to be those of the last king of the Plantagenet dynasty; and, if so, calls on the Government to arrange a full state funeral for the deceased monarch, and for his remains to be interred appropriately.
