Proceeding contribution from Evan Harris (Liberal Democrat) 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 measures the Minister has just read out would enable discrimination to be applied to those who assist in the observance of religion. Can he confirm that in theory, the drafting would allow a church to restrict organists based on sex, sexual orientation or the other grounds listed? The wording is ““leading or assisting”” in liturgy.
