Oral question asked in the House of Commons, by Jim Devine (Labour). It was answered on Wednesday, 1 July 2009 on behalf of the Cabinet Office.


Democratic Renewal

Question
Will my right hon. Friend, as part of this discussion about democratic renewal, include the abolition of the Act of Settlement, which is simply legalised sectarianism and has no role in the 21st century?
Answer

I do not think that I would be being candid with my hon. Friend were I not to say that that is not part of the provisions of the draft Constitutional Renewal Bill.
