HL Deb 01 June 1981 vol 420 c1102WA
The Marquess of Lothian

asked Her Majesty's Government:

Whether they will give an assurance that the right to fair comment on matters of public interest will always be upheld for the religious leaders of all Churches and denominations particularly when they come under attack from minority pressure groups with commercial interests in curtailing moral counselling which emphasises the right to live of the disabled, the fragile, the elderly, and healthy unborn babies.

Lord Belstead

The Government fully uphold everybody's right to fair comment on these matters.
