HC Deb 13 May 1971 vol 817 c144W
23. Mr. Parker

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he will take steps to secure international agreement as to the dates of Easter in future in view of support of the majority of Christian churches for such a change.

Mr. Sharples

The Christian Churches are still working to secure agreement among themselves for an acceptable common date for Easter. It would be inappropriate for Her Majesty's Government to intervene at this time.
