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 the Church of England has decoupled itself from the exemption by saying, ““No, it is not a prerequisite of the job that you be a man,”” so it is now saying, ““We are decoupled, but we are now heading back towards the buffers. We are now going to go back on what we said by reintroducing discrimination.””
