"That Monarchy remains a valuable institution."
Ludovic Kennedy calls Norman St. John-Stevas, M.P. to prove this proposition and Geoffrey Bing, Q.C. to disprove it.
Each of them may call any witnesses he wishes to substantiate his argument and use as evidence any film from the archives of the BBC.
The issue will be debated before a panel of thirty young lawyers and a specially invited audience.
