Proceeding contribution from Edward Timpson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Tuesday, 7 March 2017. It occurred during Debate on bill and Legislative Grand Committee proceeding (HC) on Children and Social Work Bill [Lords].


Children and Social Work Bill [Lords]

I am grateful to my right hon. Friend for that clear indication of the Church of England’s support for the step that we are taking. Having engaged with the Church and with representatives of other faiths throughout the process, I am aware of that support. The religious faith that brings many people into the education system will be respected as it has been in the past: that is reflected in the Bill, and will be reflected in the regulations and statutory guidance that will follow.
