Proceeding contribution from David Leslie Taylor (Labour) in the House of Commons on Wednesday, 11 November 2009. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Sex Discrimination (Religious Organisations).
Sex Discrimination (Religious Organisations)
Is it not the case that the thrust of what the hon. Gentleman is saying is very substantially weakened by what the hon. Member for Salisbury (Robert Key) said in his opening remarks? The great majority of the ministers of the Church of England, of its congregations and of the General Synod have expressed support for the concept of women bishops. How can what the hon. Member for Oxford, West and Abingdon (Dr. Harris) is saying be sustained in the face of such figures?
