Proceeding contribution from Baroness Paisley of St George's (Democratic Unionist Party) in the House of Lords on Monday, 24 October 2011. It occurred during Debate on bill on Education Bill.
Education Bill
My Lords, there are thousands of parents in our country today who do not have a Bible in their homes and who do not read it to their children. School is the only place where these children are given any light at all into the word of God. This is the 400th anniversary of the printing of the King James version of the Holy Bible in the English language. We are Christian country and it is our duty and responsibility to see that the word of God is placed in schools for the benefit of the children. The Psalmist David said: "““Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path””." If people want proper guidelines for life, they are to be found in the word of God. I leave that with your Lordships tonight.
