King's Consent is not a right of the monarch or of the crown under the prerogative.[1] The Office of the Parliamentary Counsel has stated that it is entirely a matter of House procedure.[8] In 2014 the House of Commons Political and Constitutional Reform Committee undertook an investigation into the basis of the practice, and concluded after hearing expert legal and parliamentary evidence that consent is indeed a matter of parliamentary procedure.[9] The committee noted that if parliament wished to abolish consent it could do so by resolution, without any need for legislation.[9]
