Proceeding contribution from Robert Key (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 November 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Sex Discrimination (Religious Organisations).


Sex Discrimination (Religious Organisations)

The problem is that it would not matter whether the Church of England were established or disestablished. The whole point is it would be coming to Parliament as the established Church, inviting us to endorse something that is illegal; or, through its own rules if it were disestablished, saying, ““We are going to do something illegal””—that is, if it was being discriminatory. That is the problem that we face.
