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]

The implication of what the Minister has said is that religion is a shallow, charted sea. Everything that he said about the potential coverage of ““belief”” applies equally to the various religions. Why must only non-religious beliefs go into uncharted, deep waters, and not the huge variety of, some might say, strange religious beliefs, which, under his formulation, will not have to pass the same extra hurdles as non-religious beliefs?
