That this House notes with great significance the 500th anniversary of the publication of William Tyndale’s English translation of the New Testament; recognises Tyndale’s enduring contribution to the English language, religious liberty and public access to the Scriptures; acknowledges the profound impact of the Tyndale Bible on the development of Protestant theology, worship and church life; celebrates the role of the Bible in shaping the spiritual, cultural and moral heritage of the United Kingdom; pays tribute to Tyndale’s courage, scholarship and faith in the face of persecution; and calls on churches, schools, cultural institutions and communities across the country to mark this historic milestone with appropriate commemorations and educational activities.

That this House notes the ongoing work of a number of organisations, including the Trinitarian Bible Society, to commemorate the 500th anniversary of William Tyndale translating the Bible into the English language in 1525; and recognises that this momentous event meant that, for the first time in history, millions of people for whom English was their first language began to have the opportunity to read the Bible for themselves, which transformed religious practices and subsequently enabled tens of millions of lay people, and those with no previous religious leanings or upbringing, to learn from the scriptures in their own language, and know the transforming power of the saving grace that comes about in Christ alone.

In response to recent incidents, the government has been repeatedly clear that there is no blasphemy law in the United Kingdom. The department has no plans to give specific guidance on the respect that should be shown to specific religious texts. However, the Home Office is drafting guidance on blasphemy incidents, which the department will support with as needed.
It is important to remind the House that the Education Act 1944 made religious education a compulsory subject in schools. I do not believe it is possible in England to properly teach religious education without ensuring that children have a proper understanding of Bible narratives.

What steps the Church of England is taking to increase biblical literacy among children.
Does the right hon. Gentleman agree that we should see it not only as religious education but as part of our heritage and citizenship in this country, and that the stories of Noah’s ark, Adam and Eve and even the nativity should be part of that citizenship education? Is he worried about the recent poll that showed the low level of such knowledge among children and their parents?

I entirely agree. It would be very difficult, for example, for an A-level student to understand the work of T. S. Eliot without any knowledge of the Bible narratives. There is a responsibility on schools to teach religious education, and one would hope and anticipate that they would teach the Bible and Bible narratives as part of that. Families do that, as, of course, do the churches through Sunday schools.
