Proceeding contribution from Lord Avebury (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Lords on Monday, 18 July 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill and Committee proceeding on Education Bill.


Education Bill

I am in the middle of a sentence. I shall give way when I finish it. How can we have tolerance when children are separated into different kinds of religions, even if, as the Minister has just said, there can be a determination that allows the act of worship to be of a non-Christian character, which just means that it will presumably be of a Muslim or Hindu character, thus separating the children who belong to those schools even further from their contemporaries in the mainstream Church of England schools?
