Royal Marriages and Succession to the Crown (Prevention of Discrimination) Bill

With the greatest respect, I think that, on the details, the Secretary of State is wrong. I do not want to labour the House on this matter, but I know of Church of England vicars who have been given communion in a Roman Catholic church and Catholic Church members who have received communion in the Church of England. That is a matter of fact, and it is happening all the time. The question, however, is this: what has this got to do with the Bill? With the greatest respect, the question of intercommunication or lack of it, and of what might be anyone's belief about communion, has got nothing at all to do with the Bill, and I challenge the Secretary of State to tell us how it has.
