Following the death of Queen Elizabeth II, Members of the House of Commons had the option to swear an oath of allegiance to the King.
Michael did this today, swearing on the King James Bible. The wording of the oath is from 1868:
“I swear by Almighty God that I will be faithful and bear true allegiance to His Majesty King Charles, his heirs and successors, according to law. So help me God.”
Following the oath, Michael signed the special parchment book headed by the oath and affirmation which is kept by the Clerk of the House.
