Oral question asked in the House of Lords, by Earl Ferrers (Conservative). It was answered on Tuesday, 7 December 2010.
Sinn Fein: Parliamentary Oath of Allegiance
- Question
- My Lords, given what my noble friend has just said, will he give an assurance that the oath taken by Members of the House of Commons will not change?
- Answer
-
My Lords, I cannot be absolute about this. The Secretary of State, supported by others, has said, ““If there is a problem, come and put something to us and we will give it our consideration””. I cannot say what the Members of the House of Commons will say en masse if something is put to them. It may be that something with which they can agree is put to them; or it may be that they do not entertain it. I cannot answer that question.
