HC Deb 06 March 1989 vol 148 c386W
Mr. Teddy Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department if he will make it his policy to seek the advice of the hierarchy of the Church of England on reform of the law on blasphemy.

Mr. John Patten

We have noted the views of the group set up by the Archbishop of Canterbury to consider the Law Commission's recommendations for reform of the law of blasphemy, but we have no plans for any such reform.
