Proceeding contribution from Evan Harris (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 25 October 2006. It occurred during Debate on bill on Charities Bill (HL).
Charities Bill [Lords]
First, I was talking about the advancement of non-religious beliefs. The hon. Gentleman must explain why the advancement of, for example, Christianity or Buddhism should be treated differently from the advancement of humanism. Secondly, one can use terms such as ““religion”” and ““belief”” in legislation, because it is understood from previous legislation what they mean. If the hon. Gentleman is concerned about a wide definition of ““belief””, he should be concerned about the Equality Act 2006, the Human Rights Act 1998 and the Communications Act 2003.
