§ Mr. Ivan HendersonTo ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will introduce legislation to allow ministers of religion to become Members of the House of Commons. [147688]
§ Mr. Mike O'BrienI will today introduce a Bill which will reform the existing unfair and outdated legislation. It will remove any disqualification from membership of the House of Commons that arises by reason of a person having been ordained or being a minister of a religious denomination.
