Proceeding contribution from Dominic Grieve (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Monday, 11 July 2005. It occurred during Debate on bill on Racial and Religious Hatred Bill.


Racial and Religious Hatred Bill

I am surprised to hear that the Minister cannot answer that question because a Department—the Ministry of Defence—saw fit to recognise the Satanist worship practices of a seaman on one of Her Majesty’s ships and to provide him with a cupboard in which to keep his paraphernalia for his worship. So in those circumstances, I should have thought that, unless the Minister wishes to disown the Ministry of Defence, he has already indicated that the Government take the view that Satanism is a religion.
