HOT CROSS BUNS
That this House is appalled at the decision by some local authorities in the United Kingdom to ban hot cross buns from schools; believes the hot cross bun to be a splendid Easter tradition that represents the Christian heritage of Britain; and encourages all schools in the United Kingdom to ignore such politically correct advice from local authorities and continue to serve hot cross buns.
Amendments
The Early day motion has received 2 amendments.
- 963A2
- leave out from 'appalled' to end and add 'by malevolent and mischievous attempts by those who should know better to propagate the untruth that any local authority in Britain has banned the creation or consumption of hot cross buns; and recognises that no less an authority than the Sunday Telegraph has stated that there is no threat to the nation's hot cross buns.'.
- 963A1
- after 'Britain', insert 'notes that the Jewish, Muslim and Hindu communities are unlikely to appreciate such tokenism;'.
