Proceeding contribution from Chris Bryant (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 1 July 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Act of Settlement.


Act of Settlement

However, Catholic cardinals in Scotland have asserted very forcefully that they believe the law is entirely discriminatory and should be changed, and many prelates in the Church of England have also said it should be changed. I think I am right in saying that the General Synod of the Church of England also believes that it should be changed.
